That would probably be Barber right off I-20 east of Birmingham. I hate Barber because the insects scare me! Actually I just hate turns 15/16 it always catches me out.

The Z28 is probably about a 1:43 car there the 991 TS is about a 1:35 to 1:36 car. The Turbo S just has too much power and puts it down too efficiently. But it is a $200k car. BTW those would be non-R tires on each they would both probably drop 5 or 6 seconds at Barber on fresh (non-heat cycled) R compound tires.

Now, now, just because a Z06 can't finish 5 hot laps in Southern October heat without going into limp home mode doesn't me it will happen with the C8.

To their credit the Camaro ZL1 1LE hasn't exhibited those problem.

Then the jacktard that leaves coolant in for a HPDE (because they let me) and green snots a corner. I could care less that they have to pay for it, it doesn't make my day better.
