Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Using correct lines and getting on the power early and smoothly and track knowledge is like having an extra few hundred horsepower.
Leading evidence: 'Use correct lines and getting' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use correct lines and getting' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Put one 996 on a track, add one very polite Carrera-GT, three Ferrari F430 Scuderias, one 997GT3, one Lamborghini, one turbo'd NSX, one F355, one Z06 and a ZR-1. Stir gently. What do you get?
And yes, this thread would be useless without video, so... Enjoy!
Just goes to show you how much difference the driver makes on lapping days. Using correct lines and getting on the power early and smoothly and track knowledge is like having an extra few hundred horsepower. I think they were all 'lucky' you weren't driving the C-GT!!
Camera is a GoPro motorsports WIDE, mounted to the stem of the rearview mirror. The image quality is good (in daylight). The sound quality is poor, however, and there is no input for an external mic, so what you hear is what you get. In a loud racecar, its internal mic would be sufficient, but for a street car, it's lackluster.
Great video.
Yeah, I guess your corner exit speeds were much faster than those pasta rockets, and it certainly looked like you were braking later...
. That's pretty awesome. Thunderhill looks beautiful
Not a TT. Just a '03 C2 coupe. And no motor, tranny or brake mods. Suspension is the X74 kit. Very little neg camber. The Michelin Cup tires certainly help though!
This post was not meant as a brag. This is not racing. All these guys "pointed" me by in the usual polite trackday way. Which means they lifted once I caught up to them in order to make the passing as safe as possible for us both. Any of these cars could pull away from me on the straights... I was just carrying more speed through the corners and therefore caught them eventually. Moreover, to be fair, most of these guys probably don't have the experience that I do at this track (~50 days in the past 10 years?).
So, no congrats sought. Just thought you guys would enjoy the exotic car eye-candy.
Have a great weekend everybody!
-Q
I dont think anyone really thought you were
racing
... it just looked like you were more comfortable going faster than they were.
Although, lets be honest, you know that guy in the Murcie hated you passing him (in courtesy or not)
Props for posting a cool vid
