The R is considered on of the best drivers cars on the planet. On S550.
The times the 1LE is able to put down while being down on power in comparison to the GT350, imo, are due to a chassis advantage for the Camaro. It also appears the S550 needs 305 MPSC2's to compete with the 285/305 GY's. Why do you think that is? I think it is because of the alpha.

The R is an amazing man. That doesn't mean it has a better chassis than the Alpha. These two concepts are not mutually exclusive. The alpha can be better and the R still be amazing at the same time. Also, we are talking about the GT here so let's keep it on track. The GT and GT350 are not the same car.
