thanks! Weird thing is, I did the same time in my GT4 two weeks later in stock tires, brakes and just an alignment but didn't feel nearly as fast...[/QUOTE]

A 2:08 in a stock GT4 with street tires?

Bro the time can't be right. The car has 100 less hp and 2:08 in a stock GT3 is fast.

What are you setting your cold tire pressure for Sport Cup 2s at the track? I'm thinking 26 front and 30 rear, I had them at 29/33 which I think was a mistake.

2:05 on R7's with -2.5f, -2.1R

You want 29-32 HOT.
So cold is about 6-8 PSI less depending on temp Nitro VS humid air etc.

I don't doubt it. My 996 GT3 turns those times on similar rubber and is pretty much equal to a GT4 from a power / weight perspective.

Even though I've only been to the Glen once it seems like a track that has big time swings based just on weather conditions. I went 2:08 on not so sticky rubber in bad conditions and then went back the next morning when it was decent out with sticky rubber and went 2:03

Unless someone dumped glue on the track that day you do agree that a stock GT4, same driver with street tires vs a stock GT3 with 100more HP sounds impossible right?

Never said you lied.

Well it's amazing, just shows the GT4 is basically a race car on the street.
