Sounds like you did ok, maybe there is allot of limits you havebt pushed yet on the Z but you should not be getting passed by any challengers. The panamera turbo is also questionalble. Assuming this is a tight course. You should be right on par with all verisons of vettes c6 and below assuming they are stock. Anthing above a c6 is too much for a Stock Z on a tight course. Vettes also run pretty hot just like the vhr. I guarantee with a few more events under your belt youll be killing challengers
Yeah, I definitely wasn't pushing the car as hard as I could, since I do have to drive it to and from work every day. Only ran it up to about 7k, no redlining. I also don't have very aggressive tires on it (Michelin Pilot A/S 3 - which actually did okay). I don't know if the guy in the Challenger had any suspension work done, because he was cornering pretty well, but he pitted out right behind me from the start, and I couldn't create enough space before the first straight, where his 485 hp did its job. The Panamera...no way we're keeping up with that. Those things corner surprisingly well, and it has 520 hp. When I gave him a point-by, my copilot said to just keep my foot down. I did, and he went by me like I was parked. Haha.

At any rate, I'm already researching dedicated wheels and tires, and keeping my eye on the classifieds for a Stillen Gen 3 intake...
