Why do you have to get different rear tires than the front tires?

Umm... it's a high performance sports car?

Because it is a rear wheel drive performance car.
As most other rear wheel drive sports cars also have a different front/rear combo

The rear tires are a larger (wider) size to accomodate all of that power. Staggered front and rear tire sizes are quite common on high performance RWD cars.
