The 350R and CFTP Cup2s are awesome/grippy tires but it does come at a price. The 3 secs delta is not surprising, as across platforms the CUP2s exhibit similar heat cycling deterioration (although on the mustangs it seems to happen faster).Thanks man!
I didn't realize it at the time of this video but the lap time fall off of the stock CFTP cup 2's is quite significant after only a couple heat cycles. The gt500 already had about 10 heat cycles on them which I later discovered the tires were a solid 3+ seconds slow. A couple weeks after this video I swapped the tires and was able to run a 2:10.02. Since then I've got the car down to a 2:07.6 with a few bolt on mods and Hoosiers. That was good for 3rd pace overall at TT Nationals out of 230 cars, and is offically the fastest any Mustang has ever lapped NCM, and as far as we can tell that includes Camaro too.
