Cup+ tire is not like a true MPSC. It has a different compound and slightly different tread pattern for better rain capability. Evo Mag found only a 0.3s difference between an E90 M3 sedan and an M3 coupe which had the Cup+ tires.
Do you have a link to the Cayman S lapping in 8:06?
Randy Pobst in the Cayman S @ Laguna Seca - 1:43.0
So maybe the M3 is merely as fast as the Cayman S.
