Five seconds a lap faster than a tamora for the t350 thats a lot and for it to be in front of the gt porsches thats some acheivement.
Given the similarity between the cars, it is a surprise to see the Tamora 5 seconds down. When you look at the detail, the Tamora has 5 more bhp (all cars left the factory like that), but the T350 is more than 1000kg lighter, and that will help.

Would be very surprised if the Tamora is heavier than a T350 (No cage, no rear glass).When you look at the detail, the Tamora has 5 more bhp (all cars left the factory like that), but the T350 is more than 1000kg lighter, and that will help.
As an example, the brides Tam is sub 1000 Kilos (some carbon bits, no AC, big brakes)
No way same driver same conditions would be slower in a Tam, the other way around yes, but not 5 seconds.

The T350C was the fastest car with doors and was only beaten by a JP1 and Gardner Douglas. The XTR2 was rain affected and the Radical was delivered with a "road set up" which made it hand abysmally. They commented that with a track setup they expected it to go as quick as the JP1.
The T350 was actually not as fast as the Noble GTO or the Porsche GT3 up the straights, it did however pull the highest g-force measured bar the JP1 and had the best brakes.
As far as T350 verses Tamora obviously in a straight line there is very little in it however on a flat track the T350's stiffer suspension, lower profile tyres and stronger brakes do make a fair bit of a difference not lease to driver confidence. That said some of the difference will be down to Tacuma Sato...
