Maybe, but three things i take away from that:

1. The vettes then need more horsepower
2. I bet a sixpack their 100-0 ft distance is less with the larger tires.
3. Tire pressure can effect contact patch, and the on track, tires aren't statically loaded , so it might be hard here on a keyboard to determine which set of tires are ideally pressured.

And "67"satisfaction Has a IMO valid restating of my position on the subject. up

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
