That's me in the blue Turbo. In fairness to SharkWerks and the (very fast) White Cayman and its driver, I never really ran head to head with him, so he may well have been turning faster laps.
Thill has one very fast straight (140+ in big HP cars) and two 120+ shorter straights that favor horsepower. All of these fast sections are on the back-half of the track. The rest of the track is mostly about momentum and handling. I'm faster in a 2.7 Cayman on the first half of the track, but then more than make up on the back half.
I ran a 2:14 in a 2.7 Cayman on street tires, and my best in Turbo is 2:10 (on Cup tires). I suspect I would be about even with myself in a CS with sticky tires.
