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...
ive seen people work wonders using 275mm tires. Im sure 285's. Something larger would be nicer but not necessary IMHO.
