I'm comparing Dave Brown Thunderhill videos cyclone vs. bypass and to me, the difference looks like a hair over 2s (not in lap times, just segment times of completing the corner).

Cyclone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0HDJlbbK74
vs
Bypass: http://youtu.be/yT7AADEXgGE

What do you guys think?

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

I think everyone is trying to make all of us here into pro race car drivers... which is complete bs...

We're all just out having fun. I don't drive my car 10/10ths.... I'm coasting down the straights... I'm not running hard through turn 2... I'm not trying to get air going over turn 9.

Ya can't compare videos with someone trying to push the last 10th out of a run to people that are just out for a great day of driving fun cars.

Mark "the Stig" Steilow could take my Mustang and drop 10 seconds out of it in the first lap. I'm not Mark.

I have a feeling you were a lot more competitive in your younger days Gregorio. You've pulled into the far right lane now.

I watched you run. You were hauling ass and not coasting.
