times for any car can range from 30 seconds to 90 seconds or more. driver, mods, tires, lot, course layout, etc make huge differences. a car an fbody will beat on a nice big course can destroy it on a tight windy one. no way you can say what a car will run unless you go out and do it.

EVERY event has a different course, EVERY time. its not drag racing where everyone does the same 1/4 mile.

hahah welcome to ls1tech! probably not the warmest welcoming unfortunately. you live and you learn, don't worry about it.

autox isn't one of those things where you can predict the outcome accurately at all. it's not like bench racing 1/4 mile times. way more variables. a firehawk with the right driver could beat a porsche, or it could go the other way around. best thing to do is just have them go out and see what happens!

It also depends on if you have the bilstein suspension option or the 1LE suspension option on your hawk.

It also depends on what kind of porsche lol. I outrun boxters/caymans all the time that have once a month auto-xers driving them, however theres a GT3 that usually sets fastest time of the day... hes generally between 4-8 seconds ahead of me on a 60 sec course.
