The times might be in the Dec. '01 or April '02 edition of Excellence. In the article about the C4S, I believe they talk about the times of the C4S and compare them to a GT3, a TT and a C2. I'll try to remember to take a look when I get home tonight (unless someone happens to have access to them now).
It's probably on the web site from above, but here's the info from the 4/02 Excellence article:
GT2: 7 min 44 sec.
TT: 7min 56 sec.
C4S: 8 min 16 sec.
C2: 8 min 20 sec. (said that last year's, '01 I assume, has a time of 8 min. 24 sec.)

Breaking the 8 minute barrier is really special, both for car and driver.
I drove it back in about '87 in my old BMW and had about 15 minutes, ha.

I look forward to seeing the results of your insights. I'm not certain of options in suspensions out of the factory but I am sure those features would make a big difference in times. Since there are some avid drivers of the course there possibly are a few that drive porsches who have used both the models concerned on the track after purchasing their cars. Those persons would have fresh from the factory times. Talking to the track administration could give you a list of persons good to talk to for this info. There could be a club or too around that gegend who could give insight also. It would seem reasonable that maybe 25% of the avid ring drivers using both 911's have kept their logs of times.
Have a good one John.

I wish the 'ring times would include more information. Even the professional published ones are short on info. What were the conditions that day? Was it running OEM tires or r-comps? Was the suspension modified? Was it lowered? Street alignment or race alignment? Was it stripped bare? Hauling around a couple hundred lbs of rollcage? Etc. Just seeing raw times means very little.
