Quali times don't mean much if anything in ALMS or Sportscar racing in general...after all teams have been known to "sand bag" in order to keep the governing body, in this case IMSA from "adjusting" the competitive level.
Also please explain what makes you think that changing the fronts (tires) would lengthen the stop by 7 seconds...aren't both sets (front & rear) done at the same time, after they're done with re-fueling?
The only real way to shorten the stop is to double stint the tires...

I think youre right the GT3 is penalized more than most if not all teams. I mean (and I dont know) how does Ferrari go from 3.6 to 4.3 liters and still run in the same class? I would not think that the ALMS Management people would do what ever they can do to to KEEP the GT3 in that class. ITs probably the most historic of the racers in that class. They can start penalizing he other teams and let the Porsche stay at its design limit. But what do I know. I think the only way the ALMS management lets the GT3 retire is that Porsche lets them know they have another car up their sleeve. But again........

8.0 liter engines are allowed in GT1 and GT2, but the restrictors won't give them 600 hp like in GT1. A car in GT2 with an 8.0 liter engine would also have more weight per FIA/ACO.
Porsche won't race the Cayman.
