it was in the back of my mind about tyre development over the best part of 14 years but im still posotive that the 905 on new spec tyre's would not be much quicker than a current car, as i said looking in hindsight the 905 probably only has a bit more downforce than the 908 or R10, but i would believe the manual gearbox would slow things down a fair bit particularly when it comes to braking and accelaration up to say 150mph.
