Another very bad lap time for a 400hp sports car.

i suppose its a driver/conditions thing (or a mix of the two) since on the same day the 997.1 carrera s did a 1:50 and the c6 z06 did a 1:47.3. on a different day with a different driver (not even r pobst) the c6 z06 did a 1:40.9, so its obviously clear that a 1:52.2 for the vantage isnt close to 100% of its true potential
