That was my point on the other thread, though the car is clearly going to be great the weight reduction isn't as good as first thought, in fact nowhere near as good as I have heard Audi are dropping the S5 Lightweight so with that in mind I am a little be skeptical as to whether it will achieve the suggested lap time, what with so many braking points and corners involved.

I have to believe that those HP figures are very conservative, don't you think? It seems like they would get more than 25-30HP out of a new exhaust, .4 L more displacement, tuning, etc.

Sure, but the huge difference, is that between the E92 and the E46, there's 150kg more for the E92, whereas between E92 and GTS, there's appriximatly the same weight difference, but in GTS favor!
That's why a "big" time on the Ring is possible. I really believe, knowing this track and several car which are under 7.50 that it can do it. Let's see WR with the beast.... The only thing i regret, is that there's no Michelin PS CUP GTS sizes available, and that make the difference. The PS CUp i such a great tyre on a dry road. Track my GT3 with it and you can't imagine how it grips when it's about 90/100°c!! I which the pirelli would be so grippy..... |

Good luck

The pirelli corsas are of equal grip. But you will never find these kind of temps at the Nurburgring. |

BMW M - the way forward
Quote:
BMW AG has staked out this new world (sic) of ///M SAVs --- and that's OK. I'm in the pragmatists' camp: sell what has the maximum margin (P-car makes more EBIT margin from a Cayenne Turbo than a 911 T) if it works to sustain the marque. But, and this is the error: don't spurn the proselytizers, ie. the dedicated ///M Div fans. And by this I mean: give us relatively affordable, focused, sports GTs. -- V

The ZCP wheels and GTS wheels are exactly the same, except for the finish. They're both flow-form cast. And yes, I do believe they are made by BBS, but I'm not certain.
