I've always sorta felt the same, as a full blown car guy all my life, i don't get worked up over exotics. i mean i like them but at some point road driving becomes pointless and on a track, a full blown race car is more fun and cheaper.

If I fell into a ton of money, in all honesty my quickest road car would be 911 GTS or something.

Even my C6 has 275’s up front. Can’t imagine that much power in a full out super car having such narrow fronts. I’m no engineer but even I can see that’s gonna be an issue. That cars going to push.

FYI lots of supercars run a 245 front just like the senna, e.g. 488, GT3, Hurracan...

this understeer is rear end-cooling understeer more likely.. im sure its engineered that way.. and actually it seems it understeers under power on a corners only.. understeering car doesnt feel safe to me but generally 99% people feels safer than oversteer.. and it has 315 on rears like P1.. 650S, 675LT has 305 on rears..
