Default GT2 188mph opposite-lock

From CAR (June 2008):

But the ultimate Nurburgring computer is Walter Röhrls brain. In 2004 he told CAR that a 188mph opposite-lock moment at Tiergarten in a 911 GT2 was the reason Porsche switched from 295 to 315 rear tyres. It's unlikely any mortal would take Tiergarten at 188mph in a GT2, but if they did, by mistake, "then it's helpful if the company has a test drive like me, who has tried it and made it more safe"

188mph opposite-lock...Say WHAT???

- Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards seem to do it on every lap
- it is pretty awesome to watch those two work the wheel

- the added 100hp of the 997gt2 likely explains the 325 rear tire

I remember reading this. It's just hilarious to imagine. "ok the car's good, just needs a little more rear tire."
