For comparison sake, a Taycan turbo does 1:55.6 on only a performance tire and that’s a 5700 lb car. M5C did 1:54.9 on a cup tire I believe.

You are assuming these cars can do the same time over 30 laps. I can assure you that none of them can (including the trio in the test). In fact, the Lotus and then the GT4 stand a better chance of finishing first in a longer test/race due to their smaller weight compared to the M2.
But if you are talking amateurs doing HPDE or similar, one second over a 2 minute lap means absolutely nothing.
