Right on. I see the SS package misunderstood even by Camaro fans. Each model progressively builds upon the base SS.

The SS has Brembo brakes on four corners, brake cooling ducts, the three radiator heavy duty cooling, oil/trans/diff coolers, summer only performance tires, auto rev matching and a warranty to play ...standard.

I assume you are referring to the “Behind the Scenes” video of ICONS GT500 / 911 GT3 RS.

There is a good discussion about how the cars ran starting at 27:30. The GT500 has one good lap on new tires and then dropped 0.8 sec on the second and 1.0 sec on the third. They run three consecutive laps. The 911 was consistent, 0.1, on it’s three. They also say the track favored power.
