Legend in my own mind

The GT2 disappeared mid-way through the video - LOL! Sure was fast on the straight-away though. Nice video!

Wow. that was wonderful. Thanks for this.
That Porsche is awfully fast on the straights. The only car I've driven that could out-handle the 7 I had was a formula car. BTW, if anyone is wondering about drivers's skill levels (that 7 driver was def not on his 1st lap there), there is the video with Sabine in porsche and managing only a draw with a 7, same page.

thats some pretty sweet driving on a very unforgiving track
as a side note, he would be significantly faster on the straights without the windshield and with the little "brooklands" strap variant in place - I can't drive worth crap and I can easily notice the difference

Yeah, serious good save at 3:51. Smart to get on the power and get some weight on those rear wheels.

An R500 is good for 140-150mph Edit: I see you added the chart, the car had 160hp, might have been a base Zetec or a built X-Flow. R500 w/Duratec is about 273hp Edit again: figured out who's car it was. It was a fairly tuned Zetec, but he never seemed to get the power out of it he wanted. He also had the 5-speed which is more of touring gearbox and doesn't make the most of the power. He just sold the car and has an R500 coming in a few months, so watch out
