Hank,
Reading through your threads and initial argument, I see a contradiction here. You want hp/cars being the guideline for run groups. This may account for straight away speeds, but not corner entry/exit speeds. Big difference as Mike said is driver skill level. I have come up on HP cars into say T1 at the Glen and had them brake waaaay tooo much, then hit the brakes again before turn in.
You stated you want similar performing cars, but then in another comment complain that guys were "lolly gagging in the turns" with another PCA club and you should have run in the higher group. This supports Mike's statement of skill level. ALMS, GAC, and Rolex run various classess at the same time. Time diffs can be 15-20 secs a lap and yet corner speeds are much closer.
I would suggest you try club racing, say with a spec 944. You will get much closer car performance and the opportunity to see where guys make up time with ability.
