The problem is, there are going to be lot of people who don't have your experience buying this car and heading out to their local strip on the stock tires to show off the prowess of their $55K wondercar, and that scares the crap out of me.
True... But... that's true of many cars in the past.. I've seen my share of 14-15s Corvettes, GT500s and who can forget the earlier Dyno Queen.. The Supra...

The best technology in the world is no match for the determined Human brain, sadly..

The OEM tires, while seriously irritating to me, do force me to be very aware of what I'm doing when launching/driving... It forces me to become a more educated driver in my particular car's configuration...

Though.. yes.. I forsee many upset and slow times for this and the upcoming GT500 and some interesting flames about each faction holding on to the slowest and avg times as best times.. Nothing new..
