It keeps both wheels planted on the smooth surface and is less prone to wheelhop issues. Launching a car with whatever tires is a matter of practice and learning that particular car.

I was as well. The transmission gearing between the autos is almost the same. The manuals are the ones that have a larger difference. I wont argue that its easier to launch a SRA then a IRS. I have a S10 Blazer with a V8 that is great for the 1/4. With the low gearing, more hp, and smaller tires its going to be harder than you think to launch the 2011. The GT500 roast the tires off the car, and has been proven when going up a few sizes in tires makes a hell of a difference. It will be the same for the new GT.
