Once you have a tire with more grip, then I think it will be mandatory to turn it down or completely off for the best times. I still think there is possibly another .1 or more to be gained with just a tire swap though. I know I've never been able to just floor my car on the launch without it spinning and hurting my 60'.

Based on my last run, I'm even more confident these cars will start breaking into the 10s bone stock as the temps and humidity keep falling. I don't think there's anyway one will go deep into the 10s without starting off with a tire and going from there. A tire will definitely be my first change once I've broken into the 10s. I can run a tire and still maintain my factory warranty, so that's what my plan is for the next few years.

I remember reading an article a while back that was talking about how stout GM made the A8, and that from everything that has been mentioned about the A10, it should be even stronger. May have to search for that again. I hope the TM isn't to protect something, but it could be. I feel it's mostly to make the car as quick as it can be straight from the factory with the tires it comes with.
The rear is the weak point and probably why they have the TM. The 5th gen rear was much stronger.
