    So this was basically the trade-off made to get off the line faster, which is really pointless in real world use. Seems like a common thread with this thing.

      Dry performance is also handling… If you don’t want those 7k pounds “trucks” driving off the road when taking a curve then softer compound it is.

        Yes, once you have inertia built up, you need friction between the vehicle and the road (via the tires) in order to come to a stop, or change direction. A 7000 lb vehicle is always going to eat tires.

          Well, I’m sure it doesn’t help that the stupid shape probably provides the opposite of downforce.
