I’m just responding to the claimed/perceived badass-ness of the Porsche. I’d be more impressed with a $118k Lingenfelter Z06-TT putting down 800hp than someone who rolled up in their GT2, considering the price. It’s only my opinion but bottom line is I’m just not blown away by the car because I don’t think it’s all that badass when taken as a whole. I also think the faschias look too busy, especially those stupid bug antennae turn signals.
Also my reference to tires was that we do not know which tires are on each vehicle. If one of the cars had slicks and another car was running on stock rubber I don’t think there’s any question that lap times were affected. Pilot Sports are high perf tires but they certainly aren’t race slicks, and at over 7 minutes for a lap, I believe running slicks could net you 10 seconds.
