The R-compound tires used at autocross are more or less comparable to drag radials, but with much better cornering characteristics due to differences in the carcass structure. The Z/28's Trofeos fall into the "R-compound" category.

Pro-Solo specifically involves a full-blown drag strip launch, complete with a tree and redlighting potential. It doesn't have the track preparation of a strip, but there is no guarantee that that's enough to do anything more than extend the number of cycles to failure. Actually, if the reduced grip of a parking lot is enough to make wheel hop a big enough factor, the diff might die even sooner.
