It looks nice but how would it hold up in a crash? ---

[quote=“AWDrifter,post:18,topic:32944"”] I met a guy that had one at a DE at The Glen. I was impressed. I believe he hit 200mph on the back straight, he was under 2:00 lap times!!! Obviously it is like any good car, it really needs a good driver to impress. It was dark blue or black. [/quote] If he was hitting 200+ on the back straight at the Glen and only doing a sub 2:00 he is a horrible driver. ---

I know guys hitting ONLY 170 on the back straight and running 1:50 flat. Judging by the times your average indy car, or DP run, if he’s hitting 200+ (Indy car territory) and your average Indy car runs between a 1:32 and a 1:39, it sounds like a bull shit claim to me. ---

[/quote] You need amazing exit speed through Turn 1, then up through the esses and into the back straight and a REDICULOUS amount of HP to hit 200+ on WGI. The only cars that I can think of that have done it are Group C cars. ---

I was talking to a couple of track veterans at the time and from what I remember they said he had to be hitting 200 to be under 2:00. From what you have said that is not accurate. It was many years ago so maybe I am remembering wrong. I do remember seeing a 962 that was rediculously fast on the back straight. It seemed faster than any racing car I have seen there. I have only done 140mph. Coming out of the esses on street tires at over 110 is scary fun.😃 ---

_shrug_ I’m basing my info off of the PCA stuff I hang around combined with the data I have for Indy/DP/F1 @ WGI. Leh Keen and the other GT1R guys are smacking 1:49-1:55 and none of them are breaking 180mph from what I recall. Hell some of the GT3S/R 944 guys are sitting right around 1:58-2:05 and they arent breaking 165. It just doesnt sound anywhere near correct to me. ---

Can’t say I do. I dont speak with everyone and only help out with certain people who are customer’s for a friend I do occasional work for. Or those who have requested I show up and shoot photos at their race. If you give me a car class/# I’m more likely to know the person than by name to be honest. ---
