    only 1 second slower than CGT, very nice.

    Re: Supertest GT3 RS

    WOW,7 seconds is really a lot.If I remember it as fast as the 997 GT2.


    Re: Supertest GT3 RS

     

    Here are some more numbers:

     

    HHR: 1.09,6

    0-100: 4.1s

    0-200: 12.7s

    200-0: 130.1m (PCCB)

    Test weight: 1417kg

     

    Wet handling number is very bad: 1.36,6 (about 7s slower than regular GT3, they say the tires behave differently... which also explains most of the track performance in the dry Smiley)

     Yes Smiley Front tires are a bit wider in case of the GT3 RS (245) compared to the regular GT3 (235).


    Re: Supertest GT3 RS

     Also rear are wider in RS (325)

    Front wheels are wider too @ 9" - these are the widths I am on and I have those exact same N1 cup+.........hence I was interested in how they behave "differently" ? differently to what ?

    To the best of my knowledge: Increasing front tire width increases tire contact area and decreases front slip angle. Without a corresponding increase in rear tire width, this will reduce understeer, or increase oversteer.
    In a 4WD car like the Turbo, reducing understeer is a good thing because a 4WD car tends to neutral- or under-steer. I believe one of the European tuners, Cargraphic (?), does this to its Turbo at the last Tuner Grand Prix. They used wider front tire, while keeping rear tire the same as stock.
    In a RWD car like your GT2, the increased oversteer could make the car faster, or slower, or more dangerous ("happy" tail from the oversteer), depending on the GT2's baseline behavior, specific driver, track, situation, etc.
    I would also expect wider front tire (non-driven wheel) to affect max speed negatively. How much, I don't know. Hope this helps, or is actually related to your question!

    Component Reduce Under-steer Reduce Over-steer
    Weight distribution center of gravity towards rear center of gravity towards front
    Front shock absorber softer stiffer
    Rear shock absorber stiffer softer
    Front sway bar softer stiffer
    Rear sway bar stiffer softer
    Front tire selection1 larger contact area² smaller contact area
    Rear tire selection smaller contact area larger contact area²
    Front wheel rim width or diameter larger² smaller
    Rear wheel rim width or diameter smaller larger²
    Front tire pressure lower pressure increase pressure
    Rear tire pressure increase pressure lower pressure
    Front wheel camber increase negative camber reduce negative camber
    Rear wheel camber reduce negative camber increase negative camber
    Rear spoiler smaller larger
    Front height (because these usually
    affect camber and roll resistance)
    lower front end raise front end
    Rear height raise rear end lower rear end
    Front toe in decrease increase
    Rear toe in decrease increase
    1) Tire contact area can be increased by using wider tires, or tires with fewer grooves in the tread pattern. Of course fewer grooves has the opposite effect in wet weather or other poor road conditions. 2) These also improve road holding, under most conditions.

     The downforce numbers are: 11kg (front) and 49kg (rear) Smiley

    CwxA is 0.69


    Re: Supertest GT3 RS

    Thanks Marcus - here are the downforce charts extrapolated for those tested numbers I got the formulae from here:http://www.reverie.ltd.uk/calculate.php

    So I am hoping they are correct - the GT3RS total downforce at its maximum speed 310kph calculates as 144.7kg which is down on what Porsche quote (170kg IIRC ?)  - maybe the formuals are wrong or maybe it is just a variation in the wind tunnel/testing methods ?
