For example, #35 Porsche 997 Carrera S. How could that only run 1:50?
That time was logged in '04? It's probably a typo and it's a 996 Carrera S.

Also, a long time ago I interviewed Bill Auberlen after a race at Laguna Seca, and "off the record" he said that Laguna Seca seems to favor BMWs in terms of set-up. This was a race where he had beaten a couple of Mustang GTs for a win in GS and the closest Porsche was 3 or 4 positions back of him...

Lastly, comparing lap times driven by pros...Something about Princess Leia...yeah.

Just sayin' that dropping SECONDS off of your lap time isn't as easy as it seems on Gran Turismo. IF your goal really is a time in the 1:40s? The first tool you need to invest in is a data acquisition unit, not big brakes.
