to get a decent idea of the potential difference, check out this past weekend's ARRC results and look for Brian Price in ITA and SM. Brian (aka "Rowdy") was running in the top 5 in SM before cutting a tire and won ITA.
good driver in well prepared cars. should give an idea of the potential lap times relative to each class for a given track with similar conditions.
