Default Any info on Laguna Seca Lap times with bone stock 996 GT3?

I have a small database with Laguna Seca lap times, but no info on lap times with a stock 996 GT3.

I would like to get actual lap times data from bone stock 996 GT3. It allows me to compare relative performance to today's cars.

Thanks

when we played at LS, my white 6 was stock other than R888 tires. no gearing, dead lsd, no RP.
it's not all stock as i had pads and harness.
i recall doing 1:41.
i think 1:40 is pretty easy within reach.
with stock car and mpsc, i am pretty confident 171mph can get to 1:39, if not lower.

Same spec at Mooty's on Nittos my best was 1:41 with room for improvement....I agree 1:39 possible but personally I'd be updating my will before trying

MPSC like the ones equipped in the 997.1 and 997.2 GT3 are slower (much slower) than NT-01, RA1 and R888.

So far, it looks like a bone stock 996 GT3 well driven on Porsche OEM MPSC (not the race spec version) would be in the 1:40s.

1:42 here. Stock other than Nitto NT-01s, RS wing, cup front lip.

Previous owner of my car did 1:36.8 with motons and kumho v710s. He is incredibly fast.

That's 3 secs faster than a stock car on OEM MPSC, perfectly in line with the gains from a V710 (faster than R6) and a set of properly matched Moton.

I think I do around 1'39" or so, but I never time myself just going based on what guys above are saying and relative times

I'm on nittos, motons, lwfw and about 4 shots of espresso
