our cars are not apples to apples comparisons in any category. I'd monkey stomp you in the turns and you'd return the favor in the 1320.

we can pro/con all day

the undisputable fact is that the ZR1 was on a factory optioned "street tire".

Don't forget that the ZR1 was a ringer because it came factory equipped with a Trunk Monkey and dremel.

Referenced bragging about "monkey stomping" other cars at red lights being Fast N Furious shit.

Oh, something just dawned on my Ray; you're a mopar fan............ now I understand.

it has nothing to do with me being a mopar fan, I didn't say anything when that video of the viper getting "monkey stomped" when it was posted.

I just thought I would have fun with your remark you made.

and here is the deal on the tires on the ZR1s

copy and pasted

Specific to the ZR1, the 285/30-19 front and 335/25-20 rear tires use a different compound from that of the normal PS2s (which can also be found on the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V), designed to deliver ultimate track performance while retaining the ability to last for 20,000 miles of road use. We're guessing burnouts may reduce their life expectancy substantially.

Put that FastNFurious Challenger up against his vette on a roadcourse if you want to use that analogy correctly, given this context. But even then it will be incorrect since it's supposed to be between stock production cars.

I cant. its sold

put those race tires on the Viper and I would like to see what happens

Ray, Ray, I know, I know..... I know you were picking and I'm cool with that trust me..................
That is all correct. But the tires they had on that car "are" options when ordering and "are" street legal tires you can order from tire rack.
just tossin it back to ya!

against a 3k pound car with a 50/50 weight balance 14/13" rotors with 6-piston calipers and independent suspension?????? That's not a dance you would have liked Ray.

Hate to see you sold the Challenger, was my second favorite musclecar in Charleston only to red 69Camaro with white stripes in the Low Country Musclecar club. I'd trade my car today with that guy if he was interested.

i find it funny that the time attack package comes with normal ass street tires... thats their own fault for putting an inferior tire on the car... they went thru the trouble of redoing the suspension and going with Aero but not to put a proper tire on the car?

it has always been like that since they first started making them

You can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig.

GreebeanZ28 03-19-2013 04:11 PM

911 GT3's come with those "race tires" from the factory as well. Nobody ever complains about it when they do it. Weird.

LXtasy 03-19-2013 04:48 PM

In the 80's merkurs were running these tires from the factory.
