Ahhh. So what number was that on the "list" to explain your driving? Ahead of "intercoolers",
behind "missed shift", or after "the wake of the passing Z06s upset my aerodynamics."?
:P

Lol. I wasn't aiming for time, but it was annoying to be the absolute slowest car
on the track. Both Elton as well as that blue Boxster passed me easily on the back straight :-(
Oh well, the ride in that GT3 made is all worth it.

Hmm...I do recall you going by on the start/finish straight very slowly...at
one point I yelled out "cmon, Roman, hit it", not that you could hear me or anything, but you did look slow for 250whp. Explains it. You kept quiet though...kudos...not like those whiny babies who complain about heat soak all the time. 
Tell me about being the slowest car! The only person I passed was that yellow Carrera. I managed to hold off that 993 on the back straight for a bit but had to let her by b/c I knew she'd be up my **** as soon as the curve came up.

I didn't realize it at the time since the car still drove fine (albeit with reduced power)...
and I was too nerveous initially to look at my speedo and actually use the power. By the end of the day however I did realize that I was missing a fair bit of my power :-(
Thanksfully it's a simple fix.
Hopefully the next time I'm there I won't have any problems with the car.
