I get that, but I'm not talking about Corvette ZR1s and Porsche GT3s. They're both comparably tired and in the same class.

I could put the same tires on the M1 and it would've been right there with the times of the Boss LS. The tire wear rating for the Boss LS's Pirellis are 60 and the M1's Michelins are 220. Factory option or not, it's pretty easy to see someone is playing with a stacked deck.
