has anyone actually ran 15" wheels id D this year?

Well, you can also choose the Alzen/Hankook Cayman. It came with better accesories (jut for looks it is too fast for GTS2... maybe GTS3 with some ballast):

Nice flowing lines for sure. Good throttle response?

What? Tainted wins.... Heck no... That makes for real wins albeit at very high cost. Perfectly legal and not even close to playing the rules gray areas. Playing in the rules gray areas is taking 3.8L RSR motor and rev limiting it to 4000 rpm to not go over certain hp and then making a really odd shapped, but dyno legal power curve.

I was being sarcastic. We share the same view.

Exactly right. Doing some math you will find out that the perfect map is one were HP stays flat through out the rev range you can use with the close ratio gearbox (maximize at the area under the hp chart with the lower hp possible), so that means reaching peak torque at the start of that rev range and then let it fall linearly with rpms.
