If the car is making >500rwhp, with it's weight loss, revised suspension and better weight distribution, it could be a monster. The s197 chassis is a VERY good starting point to build a monstrous machine. We'll just have to wait and see more results.
I'm more inclined to believe that driver, weather, and other conditions were at play more than the car itself. To me, that list lost its validity considering the heavier, unchanged 2010 GT500 convertible posted a ~9 second faster time than its coupe counterpart.
