You are one of a few very lucky individuals. Jesse has a knack for getting into other people's cars and driving them more quickly than their owners are capable of. Some of us squeak by him after MANY practice runs (
whew!) others never do. You're the first I've heard of that was faster straight out of the box.
Yeah, but in a very non user friendly vehicle I had home field advantage.
I've had years to figure out the 930's strange power and weight characteristics and Jesse had only several minutes. The fact that the car is not running very well only made the circumstances worse. All things concidered I think Jesse did great and while watching his last run it looked graceful enough to give him a chance to beat me in my own car.
Once I get all the work done to the car I am going to see if I can get Danny Sheilds to drive it so I can see how I compare. Danny certainly should be used to mid engine porsches so that will be the next interesting experiment for the 930 once the motor and gearing change are complete.
