If memory serves well, 7.49 with regular tires and 7.40 with cup tires, ofiicial P lap times...
The claimed 7:32 for 997GT2 fit nicely into this sequence of "dream figures"![]()

Dream on Zuffenhausen is all I can say![]()

Markus,
Do you want to bet with me that von Saurma will achieved 7.40min or better with new GT2?
I spoke with some P guys this summer here on Adriatic coast and I find out few extra things about both 997 Turbo and GT2...![]()

Kreso, always a teaser. Why don't you spill the beans now instead of distilling over the next few days?![]()

Stefan,
Your comment is!
BTW, here is a hint improved PASM setup(NOT PTM setup but, I learned few things about PTM as well) and some truly amazing tires(Stefan, remember our comments about Conan The Barbarian few months ago?)...

VKSF,
Did you drive 430 Scuderia? No? Then why are you making dream conclusions? Scuderia will be a bad daily drive, badder then 997 GT2 for sure...

Stefan,
Scuderia is more die hard sportscar then GT2. Scuderia is as low as GT2 and bumps could be a problem for both cars...
GT2 brochure clearly states that it could be used every day(ok, Porsche marketing)...
BUT, IMHO biturbo engine(remember that GT2 engine have less prone lag then normal 997 Turbo engine) is better for everyday use then high reving(almost race type) screaming(it is way louder according to AMS article then normal F430) Scuderia engine. And that uphill starts(but, it is a problem for all sequential manuals)...
Both Scuderia and GT2 are awsome cars but, even to my own supriese I like GT2 more. It is IMHO almost perfect(very sporty) 911.
Just one last thing-GT2 engine will for sure last longer then Scuderia's... In fact do you know any F430 owner with more then 50000km's on clock? I do not...
My point is that GT2 is a better buy as a keeper. Of course, I could be wrong as well...

Perhaps they should try to develop cars w/impressive innovations and driving experiences that jaded, repeat buyers/drivers can evaluate for selves on own favorite public roads....and will directly compare vs 599 and Scud in daily/wkend use....
