Since TheStig13 had tested on Medium tires, I opted to test out the Hard compound tires.
Class 1 test performed on Racing Hard tires with ASC/TCS OFF.
Weight/Power adjusted to specs provided by TheStig13.

Conclusion:
I think the Class 2 cars are nicely matched. However I think the Class one Camaro may need a little more power perhaps. When I ran a 10 lap test myself, the lap times were steadily dropping all the way down to low 1:48:XXX second laps with the potential to see 1:47:XXX lap times if I had kept on going.
I'm rusty in GT4 as of now, I've spent too much time playing TT and Enthusia so I need to get used to it again. Maybe if I get time I'll run a 10 lap test for each car. Since I haven't been playing much I was not consistent, even more so than my B-spec driver, my times kept improving. Hope this test helps anyways.
