either everybody was talking shit or the track was very slippery, i had a blast, got smoked by a procharge camaro and pretty much nailed any other car that pulled up...
nothing to impressive made low 13s at best and many 13.5s. lots of wheel spin.
my best reaction time was 0.094 not bad for first timer.
i was #412
now have some 275/40 nittos nt05r on some 17'' torq thrust rims and a 100 shot of nos ordered

They'll hold 1 lateral G out of the factory. I think that's pretty good for a factory American car. Even better with a sticky set of pilots.

News flash


An average driver doesn't run high 11's in an 11 second car. He is probably nowhere near sea level either.


He needs seat time more than tires


Edit: Torque thrusts are terrible drag wheels. They are very heavy. You would have been better of with a 17x10.5 c5 Z06 rep from OE wheels. It would fit and match the fronts. TT's are kind of a camaro/firebird/mustang kind of thing.
