no surprises here then. cup2R's are probably good for -2secs/lap easily ...

If the 4RS was fitted with Cup 2Rs it would be fastest

Flat plane V8? Yes please. Automatic and Chevy interior and origami looks, no thanks.

GT4RS did have the cup2Rs. It says so in the article. It also had the magnesium wheels.

They are taking about the Z06. The only other cars that had was the Toyota and BMW.

The video seems to indicate that the car was equipped with the regular Cup 2's and not the Cup2R's on the GT4RS. Could not find the reference to the Cup2R's for the GT4 RS.
For the 2022 PCOTY testing the 992 GT3 was equipped with the Cup2R's.

Perhaps closer in laptime to the C8 Z06/Z07, but even the 992 GT3 that was tested last year with Cup 2R's for the 2022 PCOTY was only able to achieve a laptime of: 1:21.69

Just re-read the article and it seems only the Chevy and BMW were shod with Cup 2Rs. The GT4 RS is really punching above its weight with a huge horsepower deficit. I also love the new Chevy, just wish they build them in RHD and export to the UK.

I am very happy for Chevy making such an epic car. Well done! Now just redesign the exterior, please.

That was a 6MT car. And that track is really not a good track to be with 6MT.

The Manual stays very close to the PDK on any track I know of. The difference is a fraction of a second per minute.
