in redThere’s no need to incorporate caps or foolishness into this conversation. “Have you ever been to a track?” You’re getting emotional now. Please leave that kind of discourse out of our communications.
If you take that as an insult, that shows who is really getting emotional here. If you don't understand the idea that tires can completely transform a car's lap time, then it's not very evident that you're very big on road racing
Putting track tires on a car that is going to a track and street tires on a car that’s mainly on the street is not a “mod” on the same level as an e85 tune. It’s common sense and practice. You yourself even verify that by what you’ve said above about having two sets of rims. You’re basically arguing that a car you haven’t driven might or must be faster than another car (you also haven’t driven?) in you’re imagination — while questioning if I’ve been to a track. Have you driven a pp2? A gt350? At a track? How many guys at that track running OEM rubber? Would you if you had a gt350? Does it really matter that ford put street rubber on a 350 and track compound on a pp2 in your mind? Stop paper racing and take some real world consideration to your justifications of your future purchase.Is it something that comes from factory? No. That makes it a modification. yes, I have another set of wheels. That doesn't verify anything but the fact that I don't find a need to daily drive on a 305 tire. And you're arguing that a car you haven't driven is slower than another car, what's the difference? (yes, I have driven a GT350 at Nurburgring on OEM everything, thus why I want one so bad). Asking if you've been to a track was simply inquiring about your understanding of the effect that tires have on a car. If you take it as more then that, then it sounds like a personal problem, and not relevant in this conversation. Yes, it does matter that ford put R compound on a PP2, because last time I checked, we're talking about stock performance. If you want to talk about changing components to be faster, then you can change plenty on a standard GT to be WAY faster than a GT350 at a lower price point. It's really a moot point. I am taking real world justification into account, but maybe if you could put your biases aside, you could see that it is actually a lot more realistic than you seem to think
