Chassis integrity is much more important (and noticeable) on a road course rather than a drag strip. Evidenced by the Boss's performance versus the ZL1 in the Motortrend article.

That said...being able to swap tires and get better times isn't evidence of a vehicle's chassis capability. Only that sticky tires = better traction, which is true of any car.
