I agree taht someone like Ron Fellows could have done a bit better, these GM engineers have spent enough time over at the ring that they probably know that course like the back of thier hand.

the Pilot Sport 2's are pretty good for a street tire. Sure, we could put on a set of R compound tires like onthe GT-R and run some crazy number, but this was production spec tires on a production car.
Pretty damn good IMO.
