THIS IS WILD.
what is better? light car or more powerful car?
ok I lost by half second .mainly due to a mistake in t10 (overslowed) and t11 ( too deep braking) .I was head to head till t9.
so WHAT IS BETTER?
Considering how the whole forum is crying from the Miata's that beat them regularly I would say light cars are better. However in your case to be just 0.5s slower than a Corvette is mighty impressive obviously the Mustang is punching way out of his league here. As you are effectively tracking a GT4 car vs a GT3 car even though you both have the same power-to-weight the Corvette is the better chassis from the factory so to cover that difference is mighty impressive. And to be fair I still think if you had run the last session where the conditions looked best you would have improved as well on your time and the difference would even be smaller or who knows. But this is motorsport. Nice comparison video though.
