GM really needs to start playing the tire game like everyone else. Never trust a magazine test on the Corvette if its still on stock tires. GM wants the ring record badly and I really hope they get it. If they do catch the GT it will give tons of credit to the Vette’s & GM’s name worldwide. I just wonder what they have been doing to up the handling on the car. Did it get any aero upgrades of things of that nature. If the weight is below 3000lbs they will have their work cut out for them.
