Posted on another site was a comment that stated that:-
"EXAMPLE-VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER, DAYTONA, FEW WEEKS AGO.
full on CUP-runs 02'S ON FULL COURSE
STREET GT3-runs 08's!
calculated top speed-173! calculated top speed "cup"-169!"
Ok so it is not faster but it is hell fire its close!
A much more cost effective mod would be the addition of a Journoman Roundel which would reduce the lap time of the GT3 by a minimum of 5seconds...

The iss you are looking for is the September 2003 Panorama. It has a great comparo' of the '04 GT3 and Cup car, including suspension difference's, engine tweeks, etc.

Watkins Glen difference will be 7-8 seconds just as at Daytona. If using a 2004 Cup car for the comparison, the difference will be even more significant than with the 2000 or 2002 car.
