I agree with them that probably the car could be sorted out with aftermarket suspension.

Now, their track is fairly tight, which favors precision and light weight, which is probably also why the Camaro ZL1 1LE only bested the Camaro SS 1LE on Cup2s by a half second. Probably also why the Golf R was four seconds slower than the CTR.
Agreed, though Cup 2 tires only helped the CTR LE go 0.13 s faster than the other CTR. (naturally different days affect things but still, difference should be much larger I'd think).
