instead of “hardeninng” a gt3 into a cup car, wouldn’t it be easier to just “soften” a cup car for tires with less grip (R7, etc.) towards the easier and cheaper maintenance of a track-prepped gt3? Wouldn’t just softer springs and Motons do it? Anyone gone this “reverse” route?

Yes, I meant a “softened” 996 (manual) cup — maybe the ultimate answer to OP’s question.

No, 996 Cup not better than his 2010 gt3.
too many parts time out on the cup. Including the engine.
the trans is same in both cars.
but engine in cup needs more rebuilds.
also, 2010 gt3 much better car than 996 Cup in every way.
and you don't need to harden the 2010 gt3 into a cup at all, drives great as is with just adding toe links.

Yes, I previously mentioned that his car is all but perfect for the job.
The softened cup would offer more safety (full factory roll cage) and the parts time-outs would be much longer on a "softer" cup that's not racing and not running slicks
