Curb Weight/Distribution/Rear Tire Size

2013 Mustang GT 500:

3820 lbs; 56%/44%; 285/35ZR20

2012/13 Corvette Z06:

3199 lbs; 50%/50%; 335/25ZR20 - Michelin Sport Cup (available)

Power-to-Weight is only ONE stat and, if it can't be adequately transferred to the rear wheels, or is applied through less-than-adequate tires, very sophisticated electronics will need to be utilized.

Regardless, an aweful lot is going to be asked of 285 tires...

...and not many folks purchase a Z06 solely to drag race...
