I feel tire choices are not irrelevant, however, if a car manufacturer chooses not to equip their vehicle with a certain set of tires, well then, deal with it. All manufacturers have the option (well depending on contracts I'm sure) but to have/develop tires similar to the Cup tires and some choose not to. I think it only just goes to show that the markets, environments, and use of the vehicles is different and instead of so many people getting so upset over the fact that one car is faster than the other on a 13 mile track with a professional race car driver that 99.9% of people on this and almost all forums could never replicate, well suck it up.

I would live to drive a Z06 on those cup tires and anyone who truly enjoys driving at a high performance level would be silly not to agree.
