You didn't hear the exhaust cackle as the Mustang driver backed off? Just cruisin' and taking pictures. Sorry no footage of "well set up" 944's...

I think I have video from my 944 of a ****-hot Grand Am series Mustang challenge car being towed off VIR . It was broken.

This is something different:

I was hoping to see some hard charging there, but instead I got parade laps.

I don't think there was any racing going on, but it was a good opportunity to observe a Cayman through the twisties...

(edit) What I'd really like to see is a video of VaSteve's well set up 944 easily blowing past those understeering pig Mustangs.

Like I said, the one I recall passing was on a hook. Come on, Paul....this is the PCA, they put all the non-Porsches in a run group by themselves to go **** it up.


All kidding aside... this is how we do it in Potomac. Different course, but this video was already loaded. Look for me at about the 12:00 mark. No parade laps in this video.

Yeah, think they call that "grabber blue"...not my favorite Mustang color...Only the Bullitt model comes in that....Dark Highland Green Metallic.

I was a bait boy on a charter boat decades ago. It only took a few days before I moved up the ladder to Master Baiter!
