I am not surprised actually, factory drivers have countless of laps on the car and also can tinker with the car to get best time (despite whatever they claim), SA doesn't. I have never seen magazine tests (whether with race car drivers or not) beat a factory time.

Thanks for sharing.
They do say that the 30degC weather probably hurt the lap time. The 5 liter water tank for the water injection got almost emptied in just 2 laps
.
Anyhow, 15 seconds is in the same improvement ballpark as the E92 GTS had over the base E92.
M3 8:05 -> M3 GTS 7:49 (-16 seconds)
M4 7:52 -> M4 GTS 7:37 (-15 seconds)
My take away though is that the Carrera S is mightily impressive considering it is on regular street tires
