This may be the least accurate post you've written, but I didn't have the time to fact check all of your nonsense... but since you've put it out there, I'll be your Huckleberry!
You keep bringing this up, in some sort of attempt to justify your BS claims... the fact is... you tried to call me out like I did or didn't have an RS coming... yet, when searching for my user name and the word GT3RS... I never even mentioned the car... until April... and my Allocation was confirmed in May. So yeah, when the car was announced... I put my name on the list with my local dealer. You might want to look up when I stated I would get a ZR1 also... that was closer to December 2017... here, let me state I'll probably get the next GT4 and the next GT3 as well... so you can somehow use this to distract for the topic at hand.

None of your conspiracy theories turned true...
First off... I never even posted in September 2017! I tried to find one and couldn't...(now I'm not quite the expert forum/internet searcher as you claim to be, so please feel free to provide the links to my 600lb lighter statement for a GT2RS). I have always stated 300lbs for the GT2RS and 400lbs for the GT3RS... do you know why I was able to state this, without reading a magazine article? Is because I weighed my GT3 (3100lbs empty, 3230 full) and saw what other people were achieving for their ZR1's... 3550 to 3700. So it was pretty easy to conclude... yet here's your post just a couple months back:

Yes, let's look at my quotes from a year ago... and let's not forget yours from just a couple months ago... Unlike you... I've personally WEIGHED my GT3 and others posted their ZR1 weights... (prior to Mags releasing the weights). You continue to 'hide' behind these published standards testing... much like all of your information is based on what you 'read' published by 'someone else'! Yet... when the 'real world' published data doesn't meet your expectations... you try to change the conversation.

Here's your post just 2 months ago:So, please, correct the mags that are now testing 'fully loaded GT2RS' vs. ZR1's... and the weight delta is almost 300lbs... (and not stripped), no where near your 'less than 100lbs quote'... maybe you meant KiloGrams? And the GT3RS (and GT3) is another 100 to 150lbs lighter than the GT2RS.

You were WAY OFF on your weight...just like much of your post ramblings.

This is a perfect question poised by you... it uses only data 'written in a press release kit' for you to work towards forming a fact behind. And while I doubt there is any sincerity in your question... I'll take the bait, and share the strategy... The Corvette won't last a 25 minute full out session on the stock fuel tank... and the GT2RS will. However, if both cars were to go 25 minutes... We've already seen proof that the ZR1 loses power 'warm'... and history tells us 'superchargers' use/lose more power than turbochargers as they get hot. Then assume the tires on the 3,650lb car falling off more considerably than the tires on a 3,350lb car.

How far is the haul for you? Are you pretty close?

And yeah, the TT schedule is pretty brutal.. thus why I enjoy wheel to wheel at Nationals, we just get so much more track time. I truly enjoy Mid-Ohio, and haven't been in some time, so that is in the bucket of 'go do it'... but when considering the costs to haul to and from... if just for TT... I may be better off renting a ride and bringing a set of tires & brakes.

Best Regards,
Dave

Telepierre, when discussing whole sessions, you can't mention the GT2's spray tank without mentioning the propensity of the ZR1 to lose several mph and seconds on track based on weather conditions and pre heating. What was it 11 mph in the real world vs GM test times? The GT2 won't fall off that much. Both have something going against them.

10 hrs. I skipped Watkins Glen because of that horrible schedule. Im not paying for an extra day of lodging and travel to be a spectator. I'll go to mild Ohio in April and maybe August. Might even leave my car up there for nationals. I left a lot of time on the table last time I was up there.

Telepierre

Can a racer manage to beat a ZR1 by keeping below 3000 RPM? How would a racer reconcile a ten minute tank with a 15/25 minute session against the ZR1? Keep below 3000 RPM and wait for the Zr1 to overheat and pull timing?

So all cars are affected by temperature and humidity variations. Given the above, that factor was already baked in the question. One race two cars, same temperature and humidity for both. Also both cars forced injected with negligible differences in efficiency coefficients if you are looking at power delivery Turbo vs S/C.

So to rephrase and genuinely re ask: GT2RS Power curve/RPM says sprayer starts past 215HP. I actually read that the sprayer is baked in the DIN power rating @ 20Cs. So it's not like you have 690 SAE and then the sprayer gives you more..but rather you have 690 at 20C with sprayer and then higher temps and lack of sprayer takes it down.
So again, both cars "loosing" power due to physics. How do you manage that spray tank to win? All I read so far is stay in the back and wait for the ZR1 engine to blow up or the tires to blow up... is that it?

NSFW

Subaru offered it on their STI as well, about 15 years ago.

heavychevy

Because your assumption is that they all lose the same amount based on temps which is just not true. The GT2 isn't going to lose 3 seconds worth of lap time (due to heat alone) like the ZR1 has in GM's own testing. GM has already proven inadequacy with cooling on the C7 platform. While it may not go into limp mode, it's not just normal range of loss now. You are factoring in false criteria.

Telepierre

So to recap on where we have been and we are now.

September 17 Porsche strips 449 pounds of weight and adds 120 horsepower to a 911 turbo S and posts a 31 second improvement on previous generation and calls it a record and the same day it sells 1000 cars on the spot. BAM!

DRM (Dave Racer Mag lover) hails it has the quintessential German engineering feat and offers free subscriptions to MT, C&D, and Auto Sport for their coverage of a GT2RS getting tanked and achieving 357 KM/H on a dyno.

TEC (telepierre Engineer Consultant) in the mean time is feeling really sorry for Tadge because for all his chops busting has only been able to strip 99 pounds out of the C6 going all aluminum with some magnesium.

Porsche says 449 pounds is german piece of cake. 17 pounds magnesium roof, 17 pounds wheels, 17 pounds titanium exhaust, 17 pounds seats and 60 pounds of weissach package..and four grams of paddle shifting shaving (not a joke). Yes the math does not square off..who cares…6:47 baby!! Next time full carbon chassis..

TEC points out Porsche math does not square,

PGCF (Porsche German Conspiracy Forum) points out Porsche math does not square.

Porsche says they found another 17 pounds of harnessing, 40 pounds of A/C and 50 Pounds of infotainment stuff.. they agree to disclose it on the second version of the record.

TEC says OK we are getting somewhere now.. still missing 300 pounds but improving..

PGCF is not content though, FRITZ took a picture of the car, did some magic and out of the BLUE a new prototype tire is born. The CUP 2 R.

TEC is still looking for 300 pounds. TEC starts scavenging weights with his modest engineering consultancy qualifications.

PGCF grabs its gonads and asks Kern..hey! why did you guys did not tell us about the CUP 2 R?? Instead of playing tre monti and point out Texas (Slow) Joe had regular CUP 2s?

Kern says “they forgot” and no big deal because CUP 2 R are on the way anyway..so ..as they say business is business...

PGCF starts CUP 2 R clock count down. They start with days but then add months and years.

TEC is clueless on tires because he is still trying to figure out 3709 pounds 911 TTS turned into 3240 zerman V2 rocket.
TEC also has professional dilemma. TEC feeds family on engineering knowledge and friends.Trust self or Porsche and magazines? TEC reads Porsche guys in jail for benzin software trick. TEC reads Porsche VP takes GT2RS money but does not give car.. TEC trusts own.
TEC finds official GT2RS weight. Official GT2RS weight not zerman V2 rocket weight..

EPA weight on CF.

DRM thinks it is TEC weight. DRM not happy with TEC. DRM says Porsche weight is correct. DRM has GT3.

TEC says weight is not TEC. It is EPA.TEC says Porsche does legal trick with DIN weight. TEC says Porsche says potato in USA but in USA it is potatoe.

DRM says EPA full of boloni. DRM says german DIN good. USA SAE bad. DRM says magazine and Porsche good. EPA = boloni.

TEC says Porsche & VW told EPA full of boloni for benzin trick but now VW & Porsche pays EPA a lot of mulla because EPA is not full of boloni. TEC now happy. Found missing 300 pounds in GT2RS.

PGCF CUP 2 R clock run down hits 6 months

GT2RS starts US magazine tour!

GT2RS thinks PGCF is kaput and drunk in October fest.

PGCF sends mole code named Skank and embed with (CMTM) candy man trusted magazine tour. Skank secretly takes pictures of CUP 2 R on GT2RS.

CMTM conducts counterguerrilla and unleashes the PTM-kraken name Pobst-sky.
Corvette does not like Pobst-sky. Corvette not happy CMTM hot weather trick. Corvette happy CMTM not bad for ZR1 money to pay for ME.

Porsche not happy money for ME went to EPA.

CMTM not happy Porsche money went to EPA.

DRM happy with CMTM.

DRM happy race with GT3RS.

TEC happy DRM races RS.

TEC found 300 pounds….

Amazing; deserved

Your temperature conjecturing is probably right. There clearly are reasons to doubt you though.

heavychevy

What are said reasons? I have seen nothing to contradict it

Telepierre

Lack of conjecture contradiction does not validate the conjecture.

First the conjecture has to graduate to theory then once validated it can make it to fact. Then we can start contradicting the facts with equally validated counter facts.

Conjecture level is fun though..green man on the moon kind of stuff..

heavychevy

Sorry you misconstrue facts as conjecture unless Tadge says it.

Facts......
Andy Pilgrim ZR1 NCM 2:05.59

Also Andy Pilgrim ZR1 NCM 2:08.77

Factory GM driver.




So what exactly is conjecture again?

punky

I saw a GT3 RS yesterday at a car show parked beside a C7 Z06, what a joke. The GT3 looked like one of those rechargeable kids cars they have at Sams Club. Hard to grasp why some guys worship these absurdly priced go carts.

johnglenntwo

You and your style! But you clearly, by definition, buried yourself again!

Hint YOU highlighted part of the story. He wasn't comfortable with the auto either!!!(also he used Race Mode in the Grandsport down your way!?)
Conjecture and

heavychevy

What did he attribute the time gap to Johnglenn? It's bold print, right there. Read it. Or are you going to claim to know more about the car Andy drove than Andy himself. An auto isn't going to cost him 3 seconds now is it? Even though I've been one of the only people here pointing out that the auto tends to search for gears and the manual seems to be faster on track.


BTW you demand videos from other people, has anyone seen any videos of you driving? I'm starting to doubt whether you actually drive on track or are just a Google keyboard warrior like most of the people arguing in here.

Telepierre

I think I have contributed enough to this subject.

Cheers guys.

johnglenntwo

The GM test drivers use the auto and PTM. I'm going with that spec as being the fastest, like They say!!!
Likely Andy being an instructor doesn't want to engage the auto the same way for an obvious reason. (You - M7 and PTM Biased!)

You have said that VID's are telling. I agree! Poorsha's after it. Yesterday he acknowledged he hasn't quite been able to match the GM conditions at VIR so maybe in the Spring on the temperature effecting his speed, again, evidence already is that it will be a bunch.
Even Adam may not get that PTM thing completely figured out since GM didn't validate at COTA.
He does have a stock Z06/7 2:21, or so. I think he said he thought the ZR1 was good for a 2:16, or so.
He keeps PTM off, but, lets just see if he ends up there on the Cup2's.

Furthermore, last year I saw an aerial view RWD 911GT2 RS carve a clean line on the Nurburgring. I new something was up! (AND you want to show us a M7 ZR1 without PTM!)

P.S. This is a big time concept I came up with. The C&D article said erroneously he went with all the electronics Off; can't really IE ABS and eLSD. Of course that is subject to interpretation and it could still have been in Race Mode which in his mind infers that, or how about Mero knows the timing and told him the trick to get close on that warm day. It is totally possible somebody could get the timing down, but, they can't add grip so why bother!? IE Heel and toe Rev Matching, or Rev Limiter!!!
