You mean like the 3 to 4 years of R&D they put into the Viper in the first place, that resulted in a car that 2 seconds slower than the end-of-its-life ZR1?


I beleive the point was that all these things are design choices. Yes, GM picked a supercharged 8 instead of a NA 10. It was a choice. Just like GM chose a particular tire, and Chrysler chose another one. As it turns out, GM made a better choice in this one aspect of the car. But there are countless other things that contributed to the outcome. Brakes, suspension, power band, tire width, unsprung weight, chassis rigidity, polar moments, centre of gravity, weight distribution, steering feel/speed, aerodynamics, etc. If Chrysler decided to make those other things better, the tires on the Corvette wouldn't matter.
