Thank you so much!

Yessssssss! So happy to be in the pcar club! No Watkins for you this year? Have you been doing any track days? I absolutely love this 981! It keeps surprising me with all the mods it has as well! I keep finding more things that are not stock, like the spoiler I just figured out is much more aggressive than stock. Fabspeed valved exhaust which dumps to different tailpipes before the muffler, looks like headers! Porsche backup cam installed post purchase, the list keeps growing! I think it has a tune. At VIR on total CRAP tires I was hitting 137mph on the back straight and in my brother's GT4 (2016) I was doing the same, on good tires! My car is properly quick and must be putting down more power than stock.

@@tekyguy that's awesome! The headers really bring the car alive - I finally installed a set this year on my GT4 and it's been amazing. We had our first baby just under a year ago so I've been skipping this season to enjoy the dad life. Not 100% sure if I will be able to do a WGI trip next season but I hope to get out for some local-to-me events (like at NJMP).

@@Yanbags Congratulations on becoming a father! So excited for you man! I'm sure we will meet again at WGI sometime soon :-)

@@tekyguy thanks so much! For sure, see you out there.

I sold it in December of 2021 actually. The Cayman is the new track car and I must say it’s impressive! Once I have some new rubber on the track wheels and some track pads/rotors it’s going to be as quick as the GT350 I think!

@@tekyguy Unfortunate. Absolutely adore the GT350. Anywho, can’t wait for some more videos of your laps. Don’t crash! 😂

@@ndcentral8194 thank you!!!!

Thank you for watching! I'm glad that my tips have helped you. I am using an older OBD2 bluetooth adapter made by go point.

To be fair to him this was his first track day in that $130k car 🙂 He was figuring it out and not pushing it too hard right away. He is an excellent driver. This video does not do him any justice lol!

Which turns would you do differently? What line would you take?

@@najbrzi almost all of the turns he isnt pushing it to its limits and as the other guy said it was his first track day lol

Thanks!!

This was my first weekend with the car, so don't be so quick to jump to conclusions based on 2 laps.

Nah he is my friend and we were just having a good time dicing it up! He eventually points me by and then he chases me for a bit!

@@tekyguy all good

We are good friends and just playing around having fun dicing it up on the track.

I think you are in rare company if you aren’t a fan of that voodoo sound track but to each their own!

Not for long! You can see in my other videos with my friend in the GT3 that we point each other by after a few laps to swap positions. We are just having fun dicing it up at the track!

He needs gas, tho lol. I wonder which gets better fuel efficiency there. My Mazda3 went through half a tank in three 20-minute sessions. My WRX was practically empty after 2 or 3 sessions.

The GT3 has a long range fuel tank. I think 20 gallons! Fuel consumption is very similar between the two but I have to fill up the GT350 more often with the 16 or so gallon tank.

Exactly! Just two good friends having a great time!

@@tekyguy that is so awesome !! What a great time it must have been. Hopefully you have many more track days ahead of you!

I pass Porsches all day long at track days in the GT350. It all comes down to the driver. The GT350 really is damn close to the GT3 in performance and in this video I’m running a super sport tire and the 911 is running a cup2.

Dude, he stomps past a 996 like, 30 seconds into the video.

I think what you are seeing is a difference in driving between myself and the 911 driver. The two cars are very close in performance.

Better gearing in the Porsche

@@Carlos.Rivera that too!!

I suspect that the driver of the Porsche may have not been pushing it as hard in the corners. They are expensive cars and track days always have varying degrees of driver talent.

Yes you should!

Obviously you’ve never driven a fast car on a race track

@@DrSweetshaft obviously you're dumb af. I have a 911 also. I usually drive it on track every Sundays of the month. What a great opportunity u had to be quiet.

Lol wrong date on the LapTimer overlay.

B8 RS5 4.2, E9X M3 S65, Porsche 4.0 Flat 6, to name only a few

@Brayden hell no lmao ! Guess you like the sound of lawnmowers

No modification to the gearing. At what speed and G load am I cornering in fourth? That must be the turn out of the back straight. It’s just a squeeze on the gas downhill there so I go from 5-4 before the turn and then to 3 up the short hill after while braking hard.

@@tekyguyThe first 30 seconds or so were on 4th gear that’s why I was wondering. Wouldn’t it have been better to corner with 2nd gear if your corner speed was 50-70mph?

@@helpmelol7097 watching the video I see what you mean. On the track second gear never seems to make sense and I think maybe my RPM reading is low on the overlay. I could use third a little more though.

@@tekyguy Yeah just try pushing the envelope and drive at the edge of traction. GT350s are one of those cars that have to be pushed to their limits to perform the way they should. Try cornering high speed into a corner with no barrier so you can understeer into the grass just in case
