With decent tires, differnt front pads and a good driver, this otherwise stock 86 lapped "The Ring" quicker then a Porsche 993 911.

That is quite hard to believe as the 993 is beautifully balanced, has a huge grip out of corners advantage and a power advantage.

I was on the track with a 993 just the other day. It was on inferior tires to the 235 AD08's so the BRZ had more traction in the corners. He was a superb driver (watch his car control in the corners). Overall, my BRZ (stock except for pads and tires a the time) was faster, but in this case it wasn't a fair matchup due to the tires. But was fun!
