Pilot Sport Cup tires ARE APPROVED FOR THE STREET, by the way. From Michilin's site: "A competition-oriented summer tire that was developed directly out of knowledge gleaned from the track, Pilot® Sport Cup tires are DOT (Department of Transportation)-approved for street use. They help deliver extreme cornering power in wet and dry conditions, exceptional heat resistance, long track life, and consistent lap times. This tire is original equipment on the BMW M3 CSL, Porsche Carrera GT3 RS and optional on the Porsche Carrera GT3."

As to the last part of your post re:X51, etc., I do not think it would be "unfair" to compare the M with the 997S in that configuration. I am no fanboi, I agree with you that the 997S would win that contest.
EDIT: I notice you drive a 997 Turbo. Congratulations on the beautiful car! |
Oh...thanks for the congrats on the turbo, but I sold it. I just can't get myself to edit it. The turbo was too sterile for such a fast car.
