Ya, he wasn't in a RS, and I was a bit short on power in the straights by comparison (not a lot though, my car seems to stay with C5 Z06s on the straights)... He may have been faster in the GT3, but not by much. He was quite faster in the C6 Z06 (which blows me a way in the straights....those things are simply insane in the straights
), but he had a lot more fun in the Lotus with only a slight time penalty. Out of all those cars, their were only 5 or so that were faster on the track which consisted of 2 Z06's (with great drivers- both instructors), a 996 GT3 (driven by an X Le Mans Driver), and a couple gutted 944s brought in on trailers (I have a whole new respect for 944s
).
I must admit that I also drive like a granny down the straights but tend to carry a lot of speed through the corners and make up for my granny habbits on the straights, so I should be giving those C6 Z06s a better run for their money... Perhaps next month
Best,
Phil
