    Hi,
    How is it that the Porsche GTE can reach 178 mph on the front straight at Daytona
    while the Aston Martin GTE can only reach 172 mph, same on the back stretch 6 mph
    faster at least.
    Both with lemans aero.
    Aston is the same speed with both standard and lemans,
    The Porsche is slower with standard but not with lemans.
    I tested this, but the way I noticed was during an online race when the leading Porsche was
    6 mph faster.
    Not gonna catch up that way.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks
    Steve

    I would delete the post but I don't see a way.
    Apparently it was me that is the problem, looks like I wasn't winding out 5th gear long enough,
    I tried it again after writing the post and walla, 179 mph:eek:
