Should handle the same as always





Polished them up last night.


Put on car this morning.



Gonna need the wheel studs for the front to actually run these, but I have them, so no biggie.

Might as well be running spare donut tires...looks good from the side view. Can't tell a difference.

Yes, Z06. It is my roommates.
They are skinnies. Radials that work and are cheap. Don't care much how they look as long as they help with rotational mass and weight.

Re: Should handle the same as always

All drag cars have thinner tires right? That's a good thing

But you can't tell from the side so your car looks like a NASCAR.

Re: Should handle the same as always

While lifting the tires looks cool, it slows you down a little.
I am sure it will...but probably not on this driveshaft.

Should be able to leave around 4500-4800 RPM's now.

Thats like a major diss towards the Z06 and a total ego boost for the T/A since its a bit quicker.

About one and a half seconds quicker to the 1/4 mile, and about 9-10 MPH faster to the same distance.
I wish it wasn't that quick. My car REALLY needs a diet.
