That was the quickest time I could get running the full course.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You know what I did last weekend? Enjoyed my 996... Still the best medicine for a crowded mind.

My fastest lap was a 2:03.7, but the video of that session was overexposed. The attached is a bit slower.
PS: The camera position in first lap resulted in awful sound quality, so I muted it. The 2nd lap has a different camera angle, and the sound was merely poor, so I left it in.
I run a cheapie $20 lapel external microphone from Radio Shack into the engine compartment. Much better sound quality. I love Thunderhill when it's green in the spring. Of course, if it rains a lot, then the mud can be a foe.
Last time I timed myself on Thunderhill, I think I was getting a 2.02 with my Audi S4 station wagon. That was the quickest time I could get running the full course.
Yes, the engine is 100% stock. Suspension is the factory X74 kit only. Camber is slight: -0.4 deg front and -1.8 deg rear (that's all we could get without mods). Tires are MPSCups (235/295). Car is otherwise stock and heavy (3,100 lbs with no spare, no gas, no driver).
"jyoteen": You ran a 2:02 in an Audi S4 wagon?!? You sure about that? An intructor-level driver has to concentrate to go that fast in a 996GT3 on R-comp tires. You wanna tell us a little more about that S4? Or was it maybe a 2:22?
Update: Just got another second faster... and this time the video sound is good, so turn it up and enjoy!
BTW: this is a new lap record in my PCA time trial class: 2:02.58
