Not texas,

These fuckers daily drive on E/T's down here...


We all switch to ET Street Rs at around 850whp. Below 700whp you can run an R compound road race tire on the street that still has decent hydroplane resistance (R888). 700-850 the mickey Thompson ET Street SS works well. Above that it will start to give up more and more to the R based on contact area.


SS



R




No one dick's with us over tires or exhaust around here. Speeding 15+ over (20 over for county) and tire smoke are the only things that will get you pulled.

Where is here and for what violation? Just curious.



Was joking for the prison actually but you get pulled over daily here if your car is not 1000% stock

Never ran the ss's Always wanted to try them for the street but never got around to picking a pair up. The R's do fine but if someone pisses in the street, you're one the way to the body shop

What do you guys think is more important on resale value.

Low miles (40k less), or Accident free (no frame damage)

That's just blatantly not true.

The older a car is and the more mileage it has, the more likely other components are going to start to fail.

Even with perfect maintenance, wear and tear exist.

Oh man, too bad something doesn't exist where the first like 60k-100k miles are insured by the dealership or your bank
Where if something goes wrong, they have to pay for it.

They should really work on creating something like that....
