at TMS it is about the same, it not down to the power any more, it down to how they mod there cars to handle that concrete road and some are slow because there car bounces too much.
On the open road it is imposable to follow them, they do over 260km.
1 time I had to call them to ask were they were because I lost them
ET do you think your Porsche will bounce too much at TMS?
Last time I was behind billy Porsche it was bounce alot but he is a very pro driver so it OK for him.

compared to some roads TMS is easy, i don't think any supercar is really bouncy, but then i don't have a supercar right now, my last supercar was the 928S4 in the UK.
so it seems you are right up their arses on TMS, you're going to be competition for the Hiace stig.......

that was the only Porsche that I like at that decade until the new Panamera came out.
you are a very lucky guy

but dose not matter is you have 217hp or 1000hp it still can not our run the cars maybe a few sec quicker, which is alot I know.
you know the TTS had a very hard time up there last time we meet and he say it is almost imposable to drive that car on that road.
The red M3 was a bit better setup but still hard with lowered and 20" wheels

last time we went to tms with mike w me in his m3 as a passenger. we waited a long time for you at the top for you to catch up and he slowed down a lot on the downhill section so you wouldnt disappear from the rear mirror.
what I would agree w you is that for an unskilled driver, the difference wouldnt be much whether its a 217 or 1k bhp, other than if he/she is an ignorant driver, he/she would crash the later.

ok, hate to tell you the hard truth which is always not easy to accept but need to do in order to stop the bs.

Think again, its the whole package incl. power and handling.... No matter how good the car is on the turns, if it cant keep on straights then you have no chance in being competitive and that goes the same for a car with all power and no good handling attributes.
Last time i was on TMS i had my foot all the way down going up hill but had that white M3 with carbon rims right up my ass and able to overtake me but he didnt..... if I wasnt in the way then he would of been up to the top much faster!!!!
The guy with the TTS could of been unfamiliar with the roads and/or not willing to drive too fast / car not set up correctly etc...
Also you comparing your car against C200 is a bit unfair no? Whats the bhp figures for that car compared to yours??
With cars you need to compare apple to apples... not apples to oranges or durians!!!
