Won't you just end up compromising rear grip to achieve this? There's no way a 325 tire / 11 or 12 inch rim is going to fit in the front.

Doubt it will work unless you gut the factory ECU/BCM/EBCM. If you do a square setup the computers will sense the front tires moving faster than the rear tires. Aka, rear lockup. This will cause all sorts of issues as soon as you touch the brakes. ABS will go nuts and possibly active handling will kick in.

I was racing the SCCA Runoffs last week. A guy next to me ran his C6 in T1 (large rear tires smaller fronts) and in T2 where we all run 295 max tire size square. So he ran just fine square. This does not apply to me since Im a C5 and we have run the C5 square since the old pre2012 T1 ruleset.

So my guess based on that is the C6 will run fine on a square setup. We always run with AH off so not sure what would happen if you left AH on. I see you in irvine. I'm orange #88 if you have not resolved this question before you see me at a local track, come by and borrow my 295 square setup for a couple of laps and see what happens. You will see me around Socal tracks again in November or January.
