But couldn't you compensate for the "NA" Crossfire's pitifully weak power by simply installing skinnier tires?
To a point, yes. THe problem is on some of our layouts, you need lots of power because you'll need to carry 3rd gear around a large up/downhill sweeper in order to have enough momentum to finish the course (which drops to 1st by the last clipping point)

I've had all the way down to 235/35/19s on the rear, it helped a bit but not enough. I'm going to put 215/25/19s on and see what happens. If it still cant carry a slide I'll put 18's on the back

pulling the traction control fuse also disables the yaw sensor, and abs, and the esp,bas
