The other point that I was making is that with its soft springs, a GT3 will track fairly evenly over bumps and undulations as it does a good job of maintaining even grip levels. A cup car will bounce and hop over the same surfaces, and so its grip, thought higher, will change radically as the suspension unloads (no grip) and re-loads (lots of grip). It will require a lot more movement of the wheel to manage that changing grip.

Re: How Different Is Driving a Cup Car?
Yes, for me at this time, I am trying to prepare myself for the shock of getting into one the very first time. I am looking forward to it, but quite apprehensive about it as well
Being fast is not my objective, but I also find Larry's comments very interesting, because I would not have expected to change my driving style in a cup car. Live and learn... Btw, CWS and Larry, if you could find the time, I'd love to hear your comments about the GT3 Cup Experience program, even if it just some initial thoughts: http://www.gt2gt3cup.org/showthread.php?p=1766#post1766

Re: How Different Is Driving a Cup Car?
I hear that the '05 CUP cars are getting less cost effective because it is harder to get parts.
I figure when I get even fatter and lazier I buy a cup and just go do DE with full track support while I drive to the track in my comfy massage A/C seat equipped Daily driver.
