Thank you Joe 
From everything I have read and heard the performance difference is real.
Some of the speed I suspect comes from the taller but narrower rear wing.
I don’t know downforce numbers but I think they got more overall, yet smaller wing!
Look forward to more tire info, getting tired of failing Hoosiers, but love the lower center of gravity the 19” provides.
Higher spring rates, different dampers and away bars also make a big difference, specially on fast, smooth tracks.
The rest of the lap time comes from a little more HP and new tires.

Im excited to drive it. Going to be a long 4 months waiting

Joe, if the RS vmax was 5mph higher and it was only 0.7s faster than the GT3 (with manual), doesn’t this mean that the GT3 was faster (or at least) equal in the turns (slower sections of the track)? Logically, the laptime diff should have been larger. Could also be different track conditions on different days. RS dunlops and GT3 cup2s were both fresh, correct?
Lizzard RS looks awesome on the track!

Joe, after your review, tirerack is going to be out of stock on Dunlops. It's my preferred tire too.
I'm looking forward to seeing you get into the 1:33s and smashing the regional GT record. It should be no problem for you - you lost time in T2, not early enough on the power in T5 or T9. I think a 1:32 is in the cards too.

People have reported two different sources for oil leaks that I've noticed posted. A leaking oil tank (poor welds at the seam) or a leak from the oil hard line as it enters the crankshaft (for oiling through it). First will drip on ground or right front corner of tray and second will drip more towards the rear of the tray (centrally) and you can often see a droplet formed on the underside of the main drive belt pulley.

Oil from where, perhaps has something to do with delivery stop.
Have you removed diffuser to look.

Hmm, so now we have oil leak from faulty oil tank seam, then oil tube at crank pulley area(me and my friend’s GT3), and now front left side oil tube.
Its seem oil is leaking from all over the places, so much for Motorsport engine..,.

Tires have one day left based on this wear pattern. Stock camber from the factory was -1.5 on all 4 corners. I'm a glutton for punishment and had my mechanic increase it to -2.5 on all 4 corners. Let's see what happens with those numbers on Dunlops.
