Todd is a great driver and I enjoy running with him. His probe is pretty tricked out and I believe he had to run streets because of his mods VS the competition. I like the way NASA attempts to level the field.
I think it was reasonable of Tony to respond considering alot of drivers have no idea how relevant the comment about lap times/ ability was to the Red/Black group drivers in RTR.
As far as HP/Weight ratio. I am sitting at almost 11bs/hp in a D stock 993. The upper field in Nasa has some cars similar if not a little better HP ratio. Full course VIR favors the 911 as does the Glen. I ran 2:12s with a brand new setup. no prior driving/tuning, and on old R tires sitting over the winter. I think a 2:10 would be my best effort with expert tuning/instructing. I believe most of the Red group would equal and exceed these times.
