Default Porsche 962 at Roebling in GRM

Pretty cool, I always wondered what something like this would do at Roebling. I know it can go faster, as the cornering speeds are lower that those that Varkwso tells me he routinely sees in his vette...

700 hp/ 1980 lbs
Lap time 1:04.95 top speed 164 max lat g 2.468

Turn 3 looks like 130 mph...I was surprised about the max speed. They talk about gearing, it must be maxed out early, I hit similar speeds in my z06 with street tires.

Seems I have no problem slipping by you in the turns there...

I have not ever hit 130 in T3 yet....maybe with the "new" car....

remember that car was built for le mans so I'd assume that car was still accelerating at a good clip.
