Yes, we will probably hear about the tires used on the GTR until they discontinue the model. For every upside there is usually a downside. Some companies just don't want to risk accusations of falsifying data or disappointing customers with unachievable results.
I'm curious what the Z06 did at the ring, but I realize I could never match it. However, there are lots of people that think that should be the "normal" result. How many owners think they can run a 13.0 or faster 1/4 mile just because GM says you can? How many 13.0 or faster stock cars are on the fast lists of this site? (Answer: 16 of 31 for the M6; 5 of 27 for the A6). Even matching magazine times is difficult, trying to match the times of a professional driver is near impossible!
