You did a search on the internet for Lap Dances and came up with Lap Times?

================ snip ==============
All of these times fall within a 10 % range. I would
expect to see greater differences across the Porsche
marque, particularly on that circuit--as I last saw it
45 years ago. My first impression is that these times
are more characteristic of driver than of car. I`d venture
that the times represent less than three days work.
Give that driver a full morning or afternoon with each
car and spread the trials over a couple of weeks and
I`d bet you see some major differences in total times
and in rankings.
There`s some adage about statistics.......and statisticians.
Oh yeah one more thing--which 6-speed? `89 w/L-98 ?

Given that a stock 2004 Z06 was driven to a lap time of 7:56 during
suspension testing, I see no reason that someone could not take longer
driving a different one. So, I`m not sure what you are trying to point
out? It`s only value is to be aware of it when some troll attempts to
use it to "prove" some silly claim.

Title: what a waste of time.
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:10:26 +0000
Author: gawa
So here I am, making a new blog since my previous one was kind of a bust. The day before I write my first CSC exam. It’s so hard to study in front of a computer, and I really should get back to studying. Mad procrastination.
¬_¬
Anyways, hopefully I’ll be a little more successful at regularly updating this blog. To end the first post, here’s some pictures of post-Imporfest 2009. Congrats to Caleb for getting 3rd in the 06-09 Civic/CSX category. It’s well deserved.

Title: Butterfly Inspired Car - The Nissan Teana Birdwing
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:54:27 +0000
Author: rydermiles
Butterfly Inspired Car – The Nissan Teana Birdwing Concept -
This Nissan Teana concept is freakishly cool. Everything about the car is supposed to remind you of a butterfly. Why the butterfly was used to model a car, I have no idea, but I can’t argue with the results.
Everything from the exterior sheet metal to the heavily overworked interior is supposed to invoke one of nature’s most beautiful insects. The sensibility isn’t for everyone but there’s something original about all the detailing. It’s ornate but in a modern way. Get past the design quirks and you’ll find a car full of tech wizardry like a heads up HUD display and auto-driver mode. So how about it, would you drive one?
