    Isn't it soooo easy just to say that things Dave Hill said in writing have been contridicted by independent test results, and, therefor Dave Hill is not a credible source!
    But instead of saying it, why don't you show me in writing
    all of the "other" contridictory test results. Then I may say that there may be some credibility in what you have to say. The bottom line...

    You can't handle the truth.





    You can simply buy the relevant issue of sportauto. You do not appear to be too well informed



    Ignorant people usually aren't. He isn't open to ANY opinions, different than his, despite our best efforts at keeping an open mind.

    Are these tires semi-slicks?

    That is an excellent source of info. Thanks.
    Very impressed as to how the 997S faired against the C6, as well as Porsche's own 996tt. Kudos to the 997S.

    Re: here's one source for the Z06 time

    The Corvette "special" tires are EMT run-flats and are very poor for the track. Changing tires to Michelin PS2 (like Porsche) or even better the Cup tires like on GT3 would give a much faster time still...

    I don't think these were EMT tires.I think they would have written something about that.

    Those are the only tires that come on the Z06 - there is no other option (at least in USA)...
