HPDE - Best cars you've passed - And what mods

I'm curious for those who HPDE:
What mods do you have and what are the best cars you're able to pass?

Anyone able to pass 370Zs? Mustangs?

Many people don't push their cars in HPDEs. I've passed 911s, Corvettes, CTS-V, etc. It doesn't mean our car is better than those, just means the drivers were being extra cautious. Learning the line, etc.

I've passed and lapped a modded 500+ hp 997 TT in a single session at Road Atlanta while I was instructing a Group 1 student. The 997 TT driver was a wealthy woman with more money than sense. She had done only one other DE in a base 997 Carrera before deciding that she "needed more power" and bought the Turbo. It was truly terrifying being behind her. Jerky steering, unpredictable throttle inputs, etc. We had to put our most patient and seasonsed instructor with her as many others literally refused to ride with her, lol

This is a pointless thread, so I've closed it.

What you've passed, or been passed by, has nothing to do with the cars involved.
