both are great cars and are as close as you can get performance wise.
You have a point there for sure. But remember the SS is wearing run flat GYs which by everyone's account who has switched to MPSS, are clearly inferior. So it's not solely weight advantage either.

Like I said earlier. I don't think the S550 is inferior so to speak, but it can't compete at the same price point as the alpha in terms of track performance.
