How is it going to drive any better on the street than my car that makes no sense at all. I dont have rev my car at all to get around people. Car moves quickly enough in traffic, I'm not racing so why do I need to go fast around town? I've never once thougt "man I wish I had more power," I only think that the car is perfectly balanced the way it is.
And a car that weighs only about 350lbs heavier and makes twice the power, giant tires/brakes, runs about 3 seconds faster in the quarter and we were on a course designed for big powered vehicles? Yeah thats fucking awesome, sorry you cant admit to that. As for extensively modified, my car is off the shelf stuff thats it. I dont even have decent coil-overs for grip. I took down a car that was built to be extreamly fast from the start and I had all the disadvantages except weight, which is easily offset by the Z06's power and lower center of gravity.
And yeah traction is going to be an issue, gearing or not. Stop hiding behind numbers on a page, real world the surface of pretty much every place your going to race is going to be total shit.
