It's all a matter of perspective. In your mind, this
class has been "ravaged", but in my mind the class is
now a thriving burgeon. Much like the Z06 being the
"overdog" is SS: one could argue that SS has been
destroyed by the Z06 while other could just as easily
argue that the class is now one of the most exciting
(which it is) to watch and/or participate.

Interesting. This package transforms a regular C5
into a Ferrari-beating Z06.

So you beat Andy by 0.1 when ambient and course
temps were considerably cooler, having run very early
in the morning with gusty winds. I'd say if you ran in
the same run group as AS you might have had a slightly
faster time.
I'm curious to know what kind of set-up the Boxster
S had when you finished 2nd in SS. Was it stock? If
so, is it a possibility you might have gone even
faster and possibly even won SS? Gary's car had
considerable set-up I might add.
