Actually, you will be very very surprised at how important just tyres are - they will overshadow many of the "other systems". Afterall, all the "systems" have to talk to the road via the tyre contact patch
Take a 100% showroom stock car, say a C6 Z06 and only add Hoosier slicks.
With a savvy driver that car will literally be able to chase down and lap series race cars - same is true for a GT3 with slicks, or a even a "shudder" Porsche Gayman..
Tyres are everything.
The single biggest improvements I have felt over the life of my car have been tyres. Even stock brakes work better with better tyres.
I mean if me or any other person with a sports car was really serious, we would lave everything stock, then change tyres, and then maybe address suspension and brakes later - but we would leave the engine stock and just exploit improvements in grip.
Afterall, extra HP is really only for pussys, losers and posers that cant stop and turn - real drivers just need tyres and brake pads
