[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16256334, member: 68944"] Exactly^ Thanks [USER=83412]@Tob[/USER] for the collection and effort to put that together cohesively (as possible given the car wreck like trickle and mixup of data out there. It’s no easy thing to get a good picture of) I just guess right now that the base gets 200-300tw tire Handling pack gets 150-200tw tire Carbon gets 60-150tw tire. My acceleration and quarter mile times basically are just assuming tire, wheel and aero differences. Gt350 vs gt350r is a ~2-3 mph trap difference, even though the R has more downforce. ~118mph vs ~121mph and about 150lbs of downforce difference. The unsprung mass reduction helps a lot at the wheels. The gt500 carbon has 500+lbs of downforce so I think it’s going to eat up speed at 100+, and be a 4-5mph leach by the 1/4mile. Those carbon wheels will be worth 2-3mph though. Undoubtedly the fastest thing would be a carbon car with the trunk and front bumper cover off a base car. [/QUOTE]
