I drive a dual clutch NA V8 bud.
We’ve been through this. Porsche locks the track settings behind the sport chrono option. You have a C2S without track settings. Your dampers are always too soft, your Nannies are always on high, your diff is open, your sway bars are thin and floppy.
The GTS and M car and Z51 and RS and Blackwing all compete at the entry level track ready car market. An S is more like an M340i or M550i I suppose in this case.
It’s literally engineered for the street and stuff you do on track is going to cause the computer to intervene and slow you down. Sorry dude. It’s just how it is. A 911 isn’t a track ready car just bc it’s a 911. It’s just how Porsche does things. Most of their customers just want a mall cruiser.
Also alcantara is great you just soap it down every now and then. GTS should have the front suspension lift button to get over speed bumps.
Further, even if you have the locking differential, which I doubt if it’s a .1 it’s the glass one that isn’t ready for track day.
Yes, I’m sorry, he probably has 600hp/600lbs ft of torque on that M5 and a computer system that’s going to let it go wide open, presuming he is a capable driver, as it’s rwd, and you have what? 350 hp and Nannies and flaccid suspension.
Keep in mind the PASM has a very soft mode (normal). It has sport which is medium and sport+ which is form for the track. You’re suspension is locked out sound 40% less stiff than is ideal for track day. His M5 comp has KW3s with what is likely a bad set up but none the less it’s probably firmer than yours.
If there is anything you learn doing track days it’s that you really need the all the go fast parts and that EVERYONE is running a tune and race fuel.
Posting C2S lap times and pretending yours is capable of doing it is misleading. Those cars they give for the press to test are fully loaded which is to say they have all the GTS parts sans the special ride height Reduction.
