They are taking an outdated chassis and throwing a TON of rubber on it to make it corner. The S550 needs 305s up front to even sniff the 1LE at the track. That alone demonstrates a clear gap in chassis technology between these 2 platforms. There is no arguing that, facts are facts.
The 350R is the furthest the S550 platform can be taken from a cornering perspective. With that in consideration, its performance is less than spectacular for sure.

So it’s OK for the 1LE to have much wider front and rear tires than the PP1, but when the PP2 matches the rear tire width of the 1le and has wider fronts…it’s compensating for an inferior chassis? Really? Are you listening to yourself?

Exactly, it’s the same damn chassis…how no-one else gets this is beyond me.
