I love how members new to the forum immediatly question my driving if I don't agree with their posts.

The 048M work pretty well new, but they heat cycle out very quickly. For autocross they are better than the MPSC on light cars. They also work at lower temps. Again, autocross specific. On a track I would take the MPSC.

Basically I think you are over-estimating the A6. Its a great tire, but not a 4s tire. Also I think the PS2 is a bit better than you are giving it credit for.
