you've seen Vicky getting orgasmic, haven't you?

and so was Valentino if i am to believe rumours...

Looks aside (and i really like the e92 M3 - mini - me M6) There's no doubt GTS is vastly superior car compared to CSL. Let's not even argue about this here. Chasis, gearbox, engine, electronics!!

Better chassis, much more power... how can it only be 2 seconds faster?

Pirelli P Zero

But you could just get the competition one and blow the other 60k on hookers when you want to feel good

I thought Pzero Corsa Race had been discontinued.

Are you sure its not the lesser Corsa System or Trofeo?

Curly ran the ones in the link om m3 iirc (off sided ones all the way round) and data logger had them same as cups. Are ones in the link the Corsa Race or is that a different one?

p zero corsa, semi slicks
I don't know all the pirelli road tyres, like i do the bike tyres, but these are semi slicks and also it's running 255 at the front and 285 at the back, so you cannot say it doesn't have proper rubber.

Still, they are not as grippy as cups tyres - are they? I don't know myself, just trying to pick your brain.

I have data from when curly ran them at oulton. Regularly showing 1.1 - 1.3gee in the corners & on't eccles, so virtually as good as may be...
