And where did GM state the time was accomplished with runflats? The last article I saw said GM experimented with several different tire set ups prior to the recorded time, and they never said what the final tire configuration was.

You guys need to give Porsche some credit! The 996 GT2 did the Ring in 7:46 and the old 996TT did it in 7:56... The 997TT will do atleast a tenth of a second faster than the 996 GT2 without the cup tires. That's a HUGE improvement! Kudos to Porsche!
Let us compare this to the Ferrari F430... The old 360 Challenge Stradale did the ring in 7:56 (which is a sad time, considering the non-X50 996TT without the X73 suspension, gets that time) and the new F430 does it in 7:55... That's a pathetic improvement!
Yea.... PORSCHE RULES ALL!

You are right, the time was 7:42.99 so 7:43 is the number, maybe I drank the kool-aid on the tires, I posted on corvetteforum to see if someone can actually verify that it was on the runflats.
