Dunno if this is the right section but ah well. :nod:

Went out for some cruising again and did some "spirited" driving. :wink:NOT racing any one by myself. And not going above the speed limit, at all.


That being said, its really nice to hit the gas and not hit the rev limiter in first gear. :shock: New tires really helped the car out a lot. Hit the gas and get slammed back into the seat. :lol: A nice change from the complete lack of traction and the first time I have really been able to "launch" with the new setup.

And no, the ten bolt did not die. :wink:

Just felt like sharing, been a nice day.

Oh no, I didn't warm em up to do a proper launch, so your rear end is still up for grabs.

But yea, went though like a half tank today... oops. :)

You should, it was really nice to actually feel the car going fast rather than spinning tires. First time since the swap. I need more gas. :)

So howd they do in the rain? if there was a worst possible option for tires in the rain, you have them. Except straight up slicks

Surprisingly well, only had a bad hydroplaning on 35, dunno if it was a big wet patch or what, but they did well.
