As more proof of the Alpha advantages consider this blast from the past. V6 1LE with a ~100HP and 116lb-ft power deficit spanks Frod Mustang GT PP1 on 19-inch Pirelli P Zero tires at C&D LL by over 1 second on smaller 20 inch 245 front and 275 rear Good Year Eagle F1 tires. Clear tire advantage for PP1. GT is obviously faster in every measured speed metric yet is still slower around a proper racetrack that favors power because the chassis cannot take advantage of this power in an efficient manner. And sure, I get the same day argument. But in this case with such a large power advantage, unless Snack Pack 1 was tested on 100deg day with rain and V6 1LE test was in the dead of winter the Mustang should have crushed the Camaro.
