Aren't the tires an extension of that mentality? Hey, instead of adding X horsepower, let's get the same effect by slapping on some super sticky tires?

Just thinking out loud. Didn't want to reply in this thread and be part of the problem not the cure as far as useless posts.
That is really true when you think about it.
