the 107mph was an outlier, so i used the 113mph, his best run. And it definately isnt the same as missing a shift and coasting. If the lowest MPH is considered an outlier then perhaps the top MPH should also, which in the end would even out. Im not interested in the absolute best of the best runs ever. I already stated that, especially since all those seem to happen at the "fast" tracks anyways. Im more interested in what to realistically expect from one when you see one on the street or the track.

You should take a statistics class.

Yes, I could be much faster with DRs and such.. but, your two options are just incorrect. One certainly can track a 580HP car on stock rubber and be just fine with the right skill and mindset.

Hell, I'd love to have just the ZL1's wheel/tire combination swapped on to my SS and see what difference it makes over these PZeroes.

In my experience, when you lose traction on street tires the car is still generally pointed straight. If you lose traction with sticky tires, those tires will "bite" more than the stock ones while youre a lil sideways and propel you towards a wall. I understand Thats not always the case though, if you try too much to stay on it and lose complete control of your car on street tires youll probably end up sliding around everywhere and end up crashing anyways.

LOL at you guys not catching the sarcasm.
