On my last track day at T-Hill there was a guy in a well-prepped Evo who said he's done it in 2:05. He was easily the fastest out there that day, so I think that's probably a good time. I got to ride as his passenger for a few laps, and yeah...he was fast.

To answer the thread creators question.
2:10-2:14 is pretty quick in a Impreza or Evo on street tires and decent mods.
2:10 and under on R's is pretty quick
2:05 and under is really fast for a street car on R's.
Most higher HP street cars that are made into race cars do 1:58-2:01 (think goto racing legacy, sheehans wrx, kent jordans evo)
All these times are over the top of turn 5. Using the bypass under 5 is 2-3 seconds faster.
I haven't spoke to Kevin from LIC in awhile but I can imagine he is knocking on the 2:00 door at Thunderhill. That car is prepped well.

Good to meet you too, and yes, I'll be at Rodger's event on the 6th. I need to start a thread about it today, actually.

My last trip to TH netted me a 2:18 and I'm still learning. Thats in a STi w/ sways, alk, H brace, 225 RT-615s, and a pro-tune from mike (260hp/300tq). I am hopeing that for my next outing I can bring it down to 2:10 or better with later braking and the G4 coilovers I just put on.
