That's surprising to me. Cups were worth 3 sec to me on a track that was only 1 min 20sec long (rather slow and technical course). I guess the Ring is much different to anything I'm used to...
I do think the Cups are quite a bit faster than the Corsas though, fwiw...
The Nurburgring is in altitude.Temperatures are quite low there over the whole year(don't know temperatures get higher than 20*C...).
Then there are the huge straights.The tires cool down and we know semi slicks have to be quite warm to generate maximum grip.Normal street tires are not so dependant on the temperature of the tire surface.
That's my opinion.
i'm sure he'll love his new name!

That makes sense. The Cups need to be 160F before they have much grip...

Cup's may be faster...but Zero Corsa's communicate approach to max slip angle rather better.
Cup's give little warning before letting go.
That is true. That's why I switched to Toyo RA-1's on my 73RS. They have just about as much grip as the Cups, but have WAY more gentle breakaway characteristics (makes drifting a pleasure where before it was scary).

I have heared through my dealer from Porsche that the GT3 should manage 7:40-7:42 on the Ring when SportAuto does the test. I guess the Cup tyres are a main reason for that...
Not to revive a beaten horse, if this is true why do so many of you question the time of the Z06 on the Ring? The Z06 has more power, less weight, performance tires and racing suspension.

Nick - the tires are the main reason people doubt the Z06's "Stock" time. It comes with run-flat tires that are known to be slow and have lousy feedback...
