For the record the vette has the widest tires of the group and did manage to post .99g on the skid pad and 70.6 mph in the slalom so the tires can't be that bad. Do you honestly think different street tires would have made up 5 seconds a lap? And for the weather, all three cars delt with the same conditions so this is a pointless remark. Do you think only the vette would have gained grip in warmer conditions? I don't think so. Now for MCPOAJ comment that the "computer drives the GT-R".  Lets not forget the vette has a state-of-the-art yaw-control system that helps drive the car too. Face the facts guys, no amount of weather or tires would have helped the vette overcome over a 5 second a lap difference. Sorry. I don't think the new ZR1 would have beat it. |
Yea good tires can easily make up that difference. But that what tire comes with the cars, so end of story. Does Nissan ever want to attempt a GT1 class at the 24 hour of Lemans. You know where only the best compete for top honors and bragging rights. By the way, how many years in a row has the Corvette team won the ALMS. How many Lemans victories? Just curious.
