Comparisons are supposed to be as even as possible, but just because one manufacturer makes a tyre choice that isn't as good as the other, that's just one thing aginst that car.

If GM were serious about it being a car that beat a 430 or Gallardo, then they've got to accept that a serious sports car needs good tyres, not some rubbish rubber that let's them not equip a spare.
So many of the top rung sports cars of today in a manufacturers line are all fitted with semi-slick race tyres, i.e M3 CSL (Michelin Pilot Sport Cups) GT3 RS (Porsche-spec Corsas) 360CS (Corsas), hell, even the HSV DTS cars came with Corsas, and they were only a ~$75,000AUD car (about $55,000USD)
