A few important coments:

the CSL time is doubted by a lot of people (who know what they are talking about). The the speeds it achieved where just not possible with the power it has, in several areas of the track it was even faster then a 996 GT3RS! which is doubtfull with the HP the CSL should have. So a "standard" CSL would not be able to drive a 07:50.

Compare the following:

Speed comparison between CSL and GTS:

Schwedenkreuz 245Km/h - 250km/h
Aremberg 101Km/h - 98km/h
Fuchsröhre 232Km/h - 237km/h
Metzgesfeld 162Km/h - 154km/h
Bergwerk 106Km/h - 96km/h
Kesselchen 222Km/h - 226km/h
Klostertal 1 167Km/h - 163km/h
Klostertal 2 90Km/h - 91km/h
Pflanzgarten 190Km/h - 186km/h
Galgenkopf 138Km/h - 134km/h
Döttinger Höhe 255Km/h - 261km/h

Please note that the GTS has a better aerodyamics (Cw value) then the CSL (even with the backwing)!

Second, the GTS is on UHP tires, not on semi slicks (Michelin Cups which eg the CSL had), which makes a big difference.
