Default Conspiracy Theory...

Interesting that there's a Nurburgring time out for the GT4 but nada on the Spyder - except for better aero and GT3 suspension bits on the GT4, the two cars are pretty evenly matched. I'm thinking the Spyder may be a contender....

From a marketing perspective, the GT4 is the track car, while the spyder is a canyon carver. I agree that the laptimes will be identical, but we will have to wait until both are on the ground for us to see.

Also, neither has even been on the Nurburgring yet... the GT4 time was a projection.

Expect GT4 to be faster. Suspension will make a difference- more neg camber and adj sways. Especially tires will make the GT4 faster. It will come with sport cup2s. Time will tell.

Ahh- yes I forgot about the tires. That will make a big difference.
