Road atlanta kicks ***, I have been going there even back in the day when it had the dip on the back. I was looking at getting a P- GT3 for track days. How do you think that stacks up to the evo's?

Not really -- what I've found is it's driver dependent, also mods figure in.
But stock for stock, Vipers usually acquit themselves well against Z's (C5s)
The C6Z is a different animal, of course...

You do not demolish other cars when hothlapping. You demolish when you are racing. It is clear from the video that the run group had beginner and advanced drivers lumped together. The guys that had an X on the back of their cars are rookies. That is why it was so easy to pass them. If it is Leh who was in the Supra, then the organization that is allwoing fast and beginner drivers in the same run group is idiotic.

And the organization that allows a Ford Explorer on a track does not know anything about safety. It is beyond stupid to allow an explorer on the track. I understand allowing a sport truck like the Lightneing, but an Explorer

Um, no, this was HPDE4, the X's represented instructors, the other cars were TimeTrials groups. The clue was open-passing, most 'rookies' aren't allowed to pass at all. The entire field was sub 1:55's at Road A, including the explorer and on Saturday I was one of 4, 1,2,3,4 who were in the 1:39's.

Most rookies have cages in their cars, right????

I have raced/Hotlapped with NASA since 2000. I used to like NASA, but now I am racing with SCCA. SCCA is so much better than NASA for actual door-to-door racing.
