Whats considered a good to very good time in a 08 or 10 GT3 from a skilled driver on this course ?
Performance tires or racing tires differences, and basically a stock set up.

From what I could find online a 1:32 is very good.

I have seen a 08 GT3 stock do a 1:30 on R6, with a good driver.

Time of year will make a big difference in lap times too. Jan temps can be near freezing, summer temps well over 100+ degrees. Wind and sand on the track all play a part at Willow Springs.

Fellow Rennlister turning the fast lap !

sorry but once it's on R-comps it's no longer "stock".

still, that's a stout time.

The "stock" GT3 comes from the factory on R-comps. While the Sport Cups are not as fast as the R6s, they are still a R-comp.

The fastest we ever ran the stock Cayman S on R6s was a 1:32.0, but that was several years ago so I suspect we could run low 1:31 now (driver improvement) if the car were back at that spec.

So, I suspect Mo is right at 1:30 for a good driver, with a 1:29 or lower possible with a real hot shoe.

Our current best is a 1:24.8 at a weight/RWHP of 9.01 with aero on slicks (see avatar).

I remember HH doing a sub 1:30 in a 10 GT3 at a GMG track day, but i dont remember what tires he was on.. all i know is they were not slicks as he drove the car to the track.

I think a 07-8 GT3 with R comps can do a 1:30 with good driver & 10 GT3 should be able to know 1-2 sec off that with the more aero, HP, and TQ.

My buddy did a 1:27 in a stock RS 4.0 with used R6's on a very cold day in Feb last year.

yeah sorry, I wasn't very precise in my language there.

anyway, it's a pet peeve of mine..."my car is totally stock....except for <insert tire/brake/exhaust/chip mod>" which then makes apples to apples comparisons somewhat useless.

nice Cayman btw!

jrgordonsenior

Yep he has the second fastest GT3 lap at WSIR ....

GuyIncognito

hmmm...

wonder who has the fastest lap....

Krokodil

...by less than 0.1 old man!

Then a 1:32 is pretty damn quick for any car, I was impressed the 302 can holds it own !

GuyIncognito

those 302's are impressive cars.

and Willow might be one of the great horsepower tracks on the planet, too, so size matters

Sounds like this issue may be settled in Febuary.

Willow is not a horsepower track. There are no 2nd-gear corners at all. Of course, horsepower never hurts.

I won't try to tell you the lap time you should be running. But here's an instructional video I made that might help you go faster.
