Ok it's not a Porsche... but as we are on the subject of fast cars round the ring - AMG GT R (on slicks)

seems on Michelin Pilot Cup 2 !

so that's crazy fast 7.10 !!!

what ever they did 7.10 is mental.

As you say >10 seconds faster than all the top Super sports cars atm !

I agree and thats fine but then at least say you're running circa 750bhp+ and or race fuel and slicks etc.

918 is a sub 7 minute car round the ring by the way.

o yes, I am making too many fopars atm lol

I guess this 7.10 time needs explaining as it is too fast. As you say with turbo, a quick remap can do wonders with 102 oct fuel.

The "diff" (xds electronic one) also eats your brake pads if you push on.

My offside front pad has half the life of my nearside. At 400 quid a pop for fromt pads Im not pleased.
I soom disabled that.

O/T I remember a memorable drive with Phil Bennett (BTCC)

I had some driver training with Phil Bennett, then after realised I would never make it as a racing driver !.
Crazy fast guy, and very good driver, the thing is ZERO respect for the cars they drive imo and I would never, even if I had the balls/skill treat my cars like paid racing drivers can, they get free parts and engines ! I treat mine with kid gloves.

I thought it braked the rear wheel. I also found it was annoying as I was trying to accelerate but the XDS was like "nope..."

PTV sucks monkey balls, but allows ave drivers to do faster laps as long as they keep buying rear pads.
