And without the weight difference, the gap might have been 2.8 seconds+, but no point speculating as we don't know real world times yet.
2.5 seconds on a track is significant mate. It's the same difference between the G87 and the M4 CSL and the ZR1 and it would be ludicrous of me to suggest the G87 can beat them, with everything else being equal.
Once we all accept that technology improves over time and so do performance stats (HP, speed, lap times etc), it will be a lot easier to move forward.

Tires alone can help in lateral grip, corner speed, braking, putting power down out of corners. I could easily see a DTC Comp on Cup 2 getting within 1sec of F87CS time. Newer PS4S have been proven to be 1sec slower over 1min lap vs Cup 2. The older PSS is an inferior tire to PS4S.

I said it above, very surprised the G87 on Cup 2's wasn't quicker than F87CS. G82 has been proven to put down quicker lap times than the outgoing F82CS.
