Nothing I wouldn't expect there, what else do people think are giving the extra grip? The suspension upgrades and shocks are for balance not grip but tires are obviously are. As soon as the Z/28 came out I thought I want those tires on my car to increase grip but I need tread life too. The Z/28 is about balance, control, power, grip, brakes...which it exceeds in every category.
I'm sure he read it all....

....I think the article de-bunked the argument about "just add the same Z/28 tires to the __________, and it will be faster than the Z/28"....

Those who believed the tires were all that made the Z/28 as good a performer as it is, will be the ones whose "heads explode"....
