I'm sure you could of easily done better than a 2:10 given your skills, but you can't expect to do that in a couple of laps. Get out in one again for more time and you may change your mind. I've only had the GT4 out for one track day so far and it took at least a couple of sessions to get a feel for the cars balance. It has very different behavior to the M2/3. The long second gear is noticeable on the street but felt fine on the track to me, tracks with a lot of low speed corners may be different. I actually found the lack of midrange torque way more noticeable than the gearing, it feels a bit flat below 5K RPM. I've probably been spoiled by the S55 in that regard  |
The CS did a 2:06 in its first outing at the track with RE71s. One would hope that a purpose built sports car like the GT4 that comes from the factory with aero and a coilover suspension would be at least as fast as a sedan.
I look forward to the day someone tries to convince me about the speed of Porsches with what they have achieved. Not 'someone's youtube video' or 'my friend'.
It isn't like I've driven two laps in a Porsche one time in my life and have made conclusions based on that. I've driven plenty. The nicest was definitely a 991.2 6MT GT3
