I'm sure yours peaked much higher on the slicks. I'll have to pay attention what my car can do next time I have access to a skidpad, I might be fooling myself after all. |

While RE71R's are a stickier tire than Z2-SS's, I don't think they'd make up the difference to the 1LE's 1.09 g. But I do think they'd close the gap a bit, probably around 1.03 g. A real alignment and some coilovers would probably add a bit more although probably not enough. http://www.motortrend.com/cars/scion...-tires-384795/

It'd be close, and anybody who would actually use that performance and not bench race it would probably think 'close enough' |

Keep in mind though, they also put some Volk TE37s in the mix which will definitely the car can definitely benefit from. A fair comparison IMO would be similar tires with OEM wheels. I personally shaved about 8-9 lbs per corner by going with aftermarket wheels and tires (and will probably save another 4 lbs on each corner by going some RB/ DBA 2 piece rotors) . That's the difference between the GT350 and GT350R which puts the GT350R in a different league.

Another confidence adder is the brakes, oh MY!! I can definitely feel that I can brake later than my previous cars even with the higher speed (v8 power) and weight disadvantage(3730lbs). I had Stoptech ST40s on my S2000 and custom ducting on my SC BRZ and race pads but none of them gave me the confidence that a stock 1LE did, none of the cars that I owned or drove had a brake system this good, period! It seems like the only better options out there are the new Z06 and Grandsport (and the Viper of course). . MRC Suspension, the gigantic brake booster that has a size about my head should all help . And of course These should help also "objects in picture are WAAY BIGGER than they appear" [IMG]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/W9QsraFyDZyk9W57KouZM4Afy53NRw905pGIOFaFeozFUIBBcc KYhOKHeKsnVaxI5F0bsxJQ2wlY1UqGs6HYMsqK6sUXXHp0N0yF-U-J-1KcfD53u08WHATs59tLOXSzV-0kxp64OhgK7mhiR9kVoXsirsl4vr2iC0GT2***L5ogWNKky2aB pE9PNns2exs2qBQJGvUdrIxHYOqwer09v5gujSJN8NWxox_elP FUznrBO5wpiKI-PPG_eDSaMJBrFbfHbyeM9-830kjHtMRr6plOifLnZyEszjSG0uW1DMZ4QVtnkpv1FAToVzj8 5puTXDI3NGYx-HIgCGa7hpbukxBZpFDuXdUj2ruDZcw1W6XZKj2tPFZhfiA5Rsu erIHELXmZPOxKERR6DWjVoMP7jKFVhcPY8r9aDw5wrTpgvR9b6-76erQq3Bv9bU7Y8hJYqxOgNxyw5p3tkFM84XNaRUC2UO0AKiq-LdZyVH_6MsvmxXtB_I_LuBi65FBEzsUA0-ewHKFsgj7XTe27xRQJ_bPKby7QVb3bR24ZZKYPnuGV2LONjYi6 hR8mTndIjCKgMGL7R3YFTXtmcQDwQqQoC5dUprYjfvg732hKfS IxdqKPtiG5OC_x6u2v0PWG2Zt6UGpEFfGFJ0hsLs89AZvCIH1s w_HQAXPbBbpM=w725-h966-no[/IMG]

Stock tires were chosen on purpose to give a tail happy nature to our cars and keep the grip limits low. There are very few sport cars that come like this from the factory. The majority come with performance tires. Not with turing tires, not with low resistance tires. We should make comparisons on grip levels within the same context, otherwise we should not make comparisons!

Anyway, it looks that you are very happy with your Camaro and I am not here to convince you that this is not the case. Drivers confidence is one of the most important aspects and it looks that you can work with the new car much better. |

The Nissan GTR is a pig, but I heard it makes you feel like a superstar when you're behind the wheel. Just because a car is bigger and heavier doesn't mean it's more difficult to control necessarily. I need to start actually driving some of these cars. |

My BFF owns a GTR and you're absolutely right about feeling like a superstar when you're behind the wheel. Both on and off the track.

It's the "age of the micro-processor" computers allow the laws of physics to be stretched further than ever before. The Camaro E-Diff is a much bigger part of this conversation than most realize as well.
