Heck, even on your Vette, I'd put good money that while you only lost 1 second to a failed controller, you'd gain many seconds with a nice set of Penskes, JRZs, Ohlins, or similar.

Man, I don't know. The difference from street tires to slicks is like 2.5 seconds. Super Sports to Cup2 was a bit under 2 seconds for me. You ask any racer would they rather run slicks and crappy shocks or the best shocks and street tires, and the answer will be very unanimous.
