All of us Mustang dudes are still baffled of why Ford couldn't, like GM insists on, having wider tires manufactured for the high performance end of their Mustangs. We all realize that the Corvettes are a different design as a sports car, but Ford still insists on using the limited range of tire width available in 27.5 ish tire height ranges. Adapt the axel/wheel mounts and have a tire made. Please. Erik

PS The Viper looks insane, and they got it down to 3300lbs. Sweeeeeeeet!
Despite the seemingly small tires (I'm aware of SVTs take on the 285 issue), I think if I was in the market for a 2013 GT500, I wouldn't do anything at all to it except buy a nice set of drag wheels w/skinnies up front. Then I would just flog the hell out of it at the track until I couldn't get anymore out of it and see where I ended up.
