Jim, as someone posted on another thread, the Gallardo and 430 has Pirelli Corsa tires which some speculate drastically helped their lap times. I'm crying foul.



"Some speculate." That's a good way to put it. These are the Corsa System tires that came OE on the Stradale, not the full-on R-compound Corsas that are similar to the Pilot Sport Cup. I'd love to see a comparison between these and other street tires, and it's my guess they are pretty similar to any ultra-high performance product like the PS2. Check out the data panel for the F430 figures on skid pad and slalom, and you'll see they are very similar to the other cars in the test, virtually identical with the Viper numbers.
