Use regular Y or Z rated tire on Viper or the ZR 1 and see if you can actually drive it.

The ZR-1 has a Z rated tire. The Viper has a Pilot Cup Sport, which is not much better than an standard PS2. The GT-R has a specially designed Bridgestone RE070-R which is not only superior but gives it a huge advantage like I already mentioned..

The reading comprehension on this forum is just funny

and that means? the vette/viper should come with better tires..

But they don't, which gives the GTR a better advantage on paper from the factory. The 3rd time i've said this. Should and do are two different words

Street cars should NOT come with RACE R-compound tires... LOL if Nissan had n e balls they'd run on the same STREET tires as everyone else.

Haha well, it's getting to the point where they have to in order to put the power down.
I see the GT-R as a great car, but again put some Conti-sports on it or PS2's and you'll see a huge difference on paper. Not only is your car slower now that its on par with the compeition, but your stuck in a heavy, soeing machine sounding supercar that's twitchy and not all that fun at the limit.
Same thing goes for the Evo's.. People were blown away by what they could do on paper, but take away those factory Yoko R compound summer tires and throw on some regular Y or Z rated tires and suddenly the performance is not anything out of the ordinary at all

thats what the tires are made for high performance cars, take off the turbo, and awd.. and u got a lancer. y are we handicapping factory cars. This is how these cars are released.. thats how they are tested, there is no advantage, because one car has a better set of oem tires on it.

If you were Nissan and you wanted to close the performance gap between the GT-R and cars like the ACR, ZR-1, 911 gt2, etc, what would be the easiest way?? Not saying the times aren't legit, but the advantage on paper can be just as easily lost in the real world when its opponents have equal traction.

those tires only come on the top model, im not sure which one is track or whatever. but all models dont have the same tires.
