Oh and also a lap time test with an S2000 of the same specs, with KW clubsports and ohlins DFV and a few others back to back (wishful thinking). Data and metrics were great in that article and I can't wait for my everyday street set of DW's to age out so I can step up to the new ones Continental put out.

Thanks for the kind words. I've driven all of those track-focused tires (except the new R888R) and it indeed would be fun to get a bunch of tires and wheels together in a big shootout. Unfortuantely the above test was on my own dime so a back to back is the most I can do with my resources.

I'm sure you'll love the new Sport.

Have you driven on all of those tires on the same car, same track? Curious how you feel the trofeo r and re-71r and various other tires you have experience with stack up in terms of laptimes but don't want to hijack this thread.
