That's only because of the monster-sized meats. I think the S2000 tires are 'better' racing tires and would kick ass if scaled up to Z06 size (anyone at Goodyear listening?).

Average tread life is a big indicator of how aggressive the rubber compound is. That's the biggest reason sport motorcycle tires work so well. They only last a few thousand miles! I know you can't talk about sidewall ratings because, well, they lie.

The S2000 has a red valve cover, and thus is inherently a faster, quicker, superior vehicle.

its like initial D... you dont need to have the strongest car to be the fastest...... ryosuke lowered his FD's power and did better against the 86... but that was a cartoon.. but the logic made sense =P
