I remember a few people throwing out "unofficial" lap times after the Expo, anyone have those laying around? In this months Car and Driver mag, they test 5 ragtops at BeaverRun, and they have best times each car ran by the testers:

Audi TT Quattro 1:16.432
BMW Z4 3.0 1:11.535
Honda S2000 1:10.846
Nissan 350Z conv 1:11.640
Porsche Boxster 1:11.903

Was curious to see how these times compared with the Rs that ran there.

 

...unless it was the same tester for all vehicles in the same driving conditions and the driver was equally skilled rwd and awd...

the test doesnt mean much.

 

Dunno what I was running at Expo. It was just a school anyways. Timing at a school is a bad idea, and ***** up the insurance for the entire group.

During a race weekend there, I was at 1:07.3 with a bad steering rack.

I was consistently between 1:11 and 1:12, with my car backfiring and generally running like ***. From my seat, it seemed there were plenty of R's at or below 1:10.

 

I think i'm in the 1:11 neighborhood when i don't mess up. Kent Rafferty ran a 1:03 in his Supra for the time trial..

EDIT: I write for a magazine and can't spell "up"

 

1:08.1 on A032R tires.
This was a transponder time, during the Honda-Challenge Race.

Many of the Rs went to Expo pulled faster times than those.

(stop watch time with human errrors tho.)

Even with the human error, there were probably still a lot of drivers/cars under most of those times. Which is always cool to see when the list has 30k+ cars on it..
