anyways, there is racing and there is spec racing. there is fast and there is spec fast. they are not mutually exclusive, but they are different.

Agree, the car has to have wider tires on the rear to put down the power, but needs somewhat wider front tires to balance the handling.
The opinions above are not my own (because all I know is Spec racing), but are the opinions of people who have built and successfully raced GT-classed Boxster's (most with 300-350hp). They don't see how that 235/325 tire stagger could possibly be fast. And they are calling Bisi out for it (the online posts are brutal, nothing like the kind posts here on 986Forum!)
So, without any lap times to compare against, all we get is a cool car that incites an internet war about its performance. I just wanted to let you know about the discussion.
