They should make those tires an option, they are just much better tires. For the few that are disappointed just wait for reviews, i don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Its going to compete performance wise with cars that cost 2-3 times the price. Its going to crush everything bmw, audi (except R8), mercedes (except new GT R.). That's pretty damn impressive at its price point.

I've never run super sports, but you really think it could shave that much off straight line acceleration times? If true, that's pretty impressive.
I know this has been mentioned before and I know it sounds a bit trite now, but we really are obtaining supercar performance for the price of a run of the mill ubiquitous bmw 5 series. So, very few people should be disappointed about anything. These numbers are pretty close to what I was expecting last year when rumors started swirling about the new zl1. But I guess as time passed, the buildup and my expectations grew, hence the ho-hum reaction.
