I’m pretty sure I have more race wins than the entire EVO staff throughout history, so yeah.

The forecast for you being cool is, admittedly, not promising.

“Have you even driven either the 400 or the GT4? My guess is no.”

You know... I’m going to walk my attitude back a bit here, since this isn’t my article, it’s my brother’s, and I know he wouldn’t appreciate me getting bitchy about things.

Yup.

The alternative was to explain in detail to you why Porsche’s piggy-assed wide-body Cayman is a disgrace to the brand and a massive cash grab aimed at people who can’t drive worth a damn, carefully annotated with lap times and detailed impressions gleaned from driving the GT4 back to back with everything from a Viper…

Fair enough. My experience is solely from watching them cross the scales at NASA events.

Okay, now we’re getting to the heart of the misunderstanding. The Evora is specced to run all day on the track ON THE STOCK PADS AND FLUID. You’re running Pagids and fluid. So do I, when I’m tracking my old 986S. The APs in the Evora have enough excess thermal cap to make stock pads usable.

Sure —- and people do it in Mustangs too. The question is: can you run within 1-2 seconds of maximum pace in the car AND bring it home with no trouble, using the stock pads and fluid?

I’ve faded a 675LT pretty hard at Thunderhill. No DOT-legal fluid is really up to the challenge of a car that can reach 180mph on a lot of tracks in the USA.

With extensive prep.

No. It’s a common last name.

I have.

Not to poke in my brother’s business too much, but if you open up this months R&T you’ll see a 570 at Shenandoah. I was the driver. The pedal was soft after ten laps.

Also frightening: some spanky volunteer instructor calling someone else’s limited experience frightening.

They are not progressive... until you get used to them you’re going to bounce your head around in traffic for sure.

Must be the same “problem” the two 991 GT3s I’ve driven have had, then.

We didn’t get to do the event together —- we were separated by a day! The closest we came to seeing each other was me leaving pace notes on his voicemail after my track session.

IS THIS ONE RIGHT THOUGH? :)

Nor are you going to get a GT3 of any vintage around the track all day without some brake adjustments. Nobody runs a GT3 on Porsche factory pads unless you have PCCBs.
