The difference between 305 tires and 285 is 3/4". The difference between the ZL1's tires in rear and the Z06's is 3/4". So the ZL1 is putting down 75 more HP than the Z06 on 3/4" less rubber, and it weighs....wait for it......920 lbs more! That Zl1 must really have to rely on it's nannies as it is getting spanked by the Z06, which is on the correct amount of rubber as opposed to the puny rear tires of the over powered ponderous, under tired ZL1.

I can't understand why the ZL1 engineers picked such skinny tires for the over powered ZL1?? The Z06 only needs 505HP. What gives??? Erik
