Finally some numbers behind the claim I've been making since the Precision Package first became available: that the Cup2R tires alone would make up the large majority of any performance improvements.

Wish they had a benchmark in that article from the non-PP cars they previously tested.

But the gap they measured between the tires alone is huge (.13g)!

The 1.00g on PS4S's is the lowest I've seen. I've seen published everything from 1.02 to 1.08g.

I think the fact that they are minimizing the variables and using their own skidpad and testing protocols makes the delta pretty reliable.

Like dynos, “after” results don’t mean much without a controlled procedure and baseline from the same dyno.

Most of this applies to our BWs as well.

Watched this last night. Too many people are getting comfortable with driving aids, resulting in total losses once turned off. These cars have way too much torque for a casual driver to turn off.

They also say that the launch control is calibrated better…has anyone heard of calibration enhancements ASIDE from the precision pack? I didn’t think programmatically anything was different in a 22-24 vs 25-26. If there is, curious about getting the updated firmware.

They previously tested a pre facelift model that accelerated, stopped, gripped, and figure eighted (is that a word?) better than the precision pack on PS4S.

Maybe the PP is tuned specifically to exploit the cup 2R tires?
