Do you "drive" a Porsche?
Went to Willow Springs this weekend - saw a couple of 6speeders there. We were wondering why we see so few Porsches at the track.

I've never tracked my car yet. I guess maybe I should go over to the Texas Motor Speedway one of these days. That would be a blast.

I have only had my car a little while and it is only a C2.....can,t keep up w a TT. Then I'll feel bad and have to get a turbo which I can't afford.

You'll be surprised. A lighter C2 can definitely keep pace with a TT around the track, especially in the corners.

I hope you enjoy the track. I think trying to push the envelope in the car is the way to go. Be safe and have a great time!
