If you're really trying to imply there is such a huge difference between high quality rubber at 285 as compared to 305 you could then calculate that the total difference in the width of rubber % wise is a good deal less than the % of weight between the two cars.

Therefore, with real and functional launch control and traction control combined with stiffer damper rates(performance mode) and springs, you can then take the best launch times of the current ZL1 and the 2012(last years model) GT500 for both 1/4 mile as well as back to back same american track times, and take the difference between the two, and know the 2013 GT500 will significantly improve on the 2012's numbers, even with it's same 285 rear width tires.

So what are the best stock listed track times for the ZL1 and the 2012 GT500?? Then we can add the plus signs from there for the 2013 GT500 improvements in dry, warm conditions as the ZL1 was tested in. Erik
