I get 23 mpg and went 12.67 the first time at the track with $100 in mods on street tires. That's about the only reason I went V8 with my daily driver.

Not really, I just call them like I see them.

Re: A few recent races

Zeiss. so you're having traction issues, even with the LSD insert? ever think about getting solid motor mounts and/or a Kormex LSD? if not the real Kormex LSD, solid motor mounts would help a lot. next time you dyno your car, watch the motor from outside the car to see how much it bucks and moves when they get on it. that should let you know the condition of your motor mounts, and how much solids would help. terry at maximalperformance.com sells them, good price.

Re: A few recent races

Ive got poly mounts and they work great. Main traction issues right now is from the economy tires which are almost burned off Ive got some nice 18s going on next week they should work much better.

Re: A few recent races

ahh yes. the old tread issue. i had great traction when my tires were fairly new. now they're almost bare and i can spin/squeal 'em in any gear just with enough side-to-side whip or throttle.

what tires do you plan on getting?

oh, and you got the LSD insert, i have one too (planned on giong FWD TT in a year or so), and i ran across this thread.
