Wider stickier tires have more drag. This is a big deal at those speeds, as is aero. A regular SS would have had a faster speed.
I swear you mustang guys wait until a review is done and if it "wins" in 1 category and loses in 100, that 1 is all that matters.
What's concerning is Ford had 2 years to release this enourmous MCE update only to match straight line speed and fall short in handling. S650 can't cone soon enough.
