I dont konw about you, but i seem to remember this little note about how 
in 1980 a 160 hp UrQ was able to keep up around the Nurburgring with a 
brand new 928 with about 80 more hp.  I believe that the lapse in lap 
times was on the order of seconds.  I dunno bout you, but i think that 
the 928 is pretty well balanced.  Scott, there is more to handling than 
theoretical optimums....
