Nimrod’s is awesome. I wish he would come back online.

It has 10 benches in it. It’s all clean and pretty in the pictures, but it sees a fair amount of activity, usually overlapping.

If you checked out the Garage Journal thread on my shop, you’d probably be surprised. I do a lot there.

I enjoyed reading the article and think your points are very well made.

Don’t count the old dogs out.

Is it even Streets of Willow? It might be the Horsethief Mile. (Or in this case, the 'Horsethief Mild.')

This morning, I tried taking the voiceover and the pauses out of the video. So here's a version where you can hear both engines.

9 months in, they are a little scary in the wet. But we're in the middle of a century-long drought.

Crap. I mean 1:27.22, compared to my 1:26.88. For a .34 gap.

0.32 seconds. Impressive, but Mr. Olsen will indeed need more to beat the upcoming GT3 RS.

The weight difference. I am 498 pounds lighter.

Thank you!

The GT3 has much better aero. The pre-1974 chassis shape develops about 300 pounds of lift at 120+ mph. The new body shape is much better. The GT3's wing is all gravy, whereas mine is mostly just fighting the old body shape's lift.

The GT3 weighs 498 pounds more than my car. It has 475 hp to my 272 hp.

That's exactly what I tell passengers. 'We have less horsepower than any other car on the track right now. But they will all slow down more than we will."

I won't lie: my narration and my video's production values are pretty threadbare. I think Motor Trend has the Pobst GT3 video with all the engine sound. And if you look in my YouTube channel, you'll find my 1:26 lap with my car's air-cooled racket.

The GT3 has better tires than me. I was running on 9-month-old Nitto NT01s. The tread is mostly gone because I've run the things bare. (I can't afford slicks.)

Exactly. Porsche calls the GT3 a 'race car for the street,' and I think the comparison is kind of interesting, given that my car sees more street time than track time. My car has a 1972 tub, but it's got an engine from a 1995, and other parts from other models. The thing that's surprising to me about the comparison…

But in the end, there's just more money and less weight in the GT3, so it comes out as the superior car — Pobst posts a two-second faster lap time in the Porsche over the Camaro.
