================ 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.
