i'd venture a guess that if you put the M8 on sport cup 2 tires the difference between it and the gt500 would only be a few tenths around track. On michelins website they say the cup2 usually drops times by -1.8 seconds per lap of a 1.3 mile track Jerez (similar to limerock).
thats why i always take cup/trofeo tired cars laptimes with a grain of salt on these tests.
