If it was the case that weight on fat tires to reach a near 50/50 balance was the best approach, every hotlapper with a c5 z06 would have done so long ago to better balance the cars factory 54/46. I've never heard or seen it done though so obviously they found better ways to account for the balance.

Now, you're really gettin' off-track, my friend.
There isn't a
C5 Z06 in the
WORLD that was built
54/46 in Bowling Green...
NADA!
I suggest you find the June and July/05 copies of
VETTE Magazine and you'll see firsthand how we built the "
Project One Lap Z06"...that started @
51/49 and ended up
50/50, weighing 3118 lb...with a full 'cage...and 305/325 Michelins...and a/c and cruise...and finished
SECOND OVERALL,
One Lap '06 with a 346" LS6...
