Junior school physics old chap.. grip.. tons of grip. No bike can equal the cornering grip generated by wide tyres of a sports car.. and with 9.5" wide fronts and 11.5" wide rears, by any acocunt that is a lot of rubber for the very capable chassis to use.

Hate to sound like a Z06 champion here.. but uhm what do you mean by "isn't that hardcore" - you do realize the C5 Z06 matched the 360CS and GT3 of the same generaiton number for number point for point.. on any track they went to - including the all important Nurburgring...
So unless you are willing to call the 360CS and the GT3 "not that hardcore" then you don't really have a leg to stand on
But I some how doubt you would say anything negative about a Ferrari..
