A driver change in either of those two Camaros will make more a difference in times ran than mods to an older car on small tires ever will.

Let me put it this way, how many of the older muscle car/PT cars that you are afraid will be run off if they can't compete...run a front tire larger than 275?
The fifth gen is still heavier than the second gen I think, but I'm not positive of that. Both are great drivers, and the fifth gen was several seconds faster on the road course yesterday. I don't think the fifth gen had bigger tires, they both had similar tire widths, put them both on 275's and I don't expect any change in which will be faster.
