why is that?
I was in Lime Rock 3 weeks ago and there was one 911 turbo race preped slick etc. And an other one was a 944 turing ,he was faster then me, but that was real race car. With real race set up.
my car is far from race preped and i was running on 245's toyo RA1 /rain tires/ factory wheel aligments ,factory spring rates ,but 1 inch lower/eibach as warr. said " rice"/ Also i have 350 whp on 23 psi. On track i lowered it to 21 psi,i have no clue how much whp it is. And that was my second day in road track ever.
So i beat the 911 turbo with 1.75 sec, and i loose from the 944 turing race car 1.46 sec. So based on that, it is not really hard to bealive what this guy said ,not to mention hes set up!

I am suprised that you would beat up on all the cars at a PCA DE as usually you will get atleast 1 GT1 class car. Also, an good lap time for a F class car is about a 1:40 at road alanta and E class is usually all over the 1:35 lap times. These cars are not nearly as fast as some other cars so I am pretty confused on why everyone was running so slow. Regardless, that car looks really good and I am glad to see you stick it to the Porsche crowd.)

Here is my former sled...I'm going around the track just as fast in the EVO as I did in the GT2. I think I was probably a little more nervous about crashing the Porsche vs. the EVO! The GT2 had a fully built motor and made 637RWHP and 645RWTQ, it ran a 10.96@134 in the 1/4. There are some videos on Streetfire.net.

Whether or not you ran faster lap times than the cars you listed is moot point. Anyone with half a brain that is into high performance driving knows that the car is only half the battle. I mean come on, a GT3, M3 and a Ferrari Challenge...did you pass a Veyron too

OK guy, look at my user text, buy me a plane ticket and I'll be there.

Seems like others on here backed him up on this, so why question it. Whether it was car or driver's lack of ability, he still managed to pass them.

P.S. When I build the motor and add the HTA35R, I would love to run one of those fat pig Veyrons around Road Atlanta!

The EVO is a very capable car. But so are the rest of them.
Anyone who has done lot of track days, knows, that a good driver in a slow car can walk & even lap some one in a fast car. I lapped very high dollar cars in my old M3, like Z06's F355, Supercharged NXS. Yes, the car all should be much faster then my little I-4 powered car, but they were not. Why? I was driving harder, pushing more & had much more knowledge on how to drive. It doesn't lessen any of the other cars. In the same car, I was lapped in a rented Dodge Neon.
I have also been hung up by very high HP cars, I'm faster in & out of corners, but can't drag down the straights. So I get stuck until they get flagged to let me pass. Some of them will let you pass, then floor it when you attempt to, again slowing you down.
Good for you, but unless you are truly racing, or doing a time trial, you really can't compare times. That also doesn't mean you are faster or slower, you just had a really good track day, & you should be happy! I know I was when the Z06 owner came to my car shaking his head that I lapped him in 20min, with a little 4 banger.
