We would have a really low CG, 59% rear weight bias and probably be able to use more throttle on them.
I think the car might actually be faster because 200 TW tires need weight to achieve maximum mechanical grip. Not doing this will save me a bunch of work!
It could be faster - as long as you aren't doing wheelies half way down the course! Just like the old Hemi Under Glass and Little Red Wagon exhibition drag cars.
