Well if Steve gets the Mustang beast ready this summer perhaps we'll find out.

Modding two cars is expensive so I'm not sure if I want to take it out on track this year... maybe next when it's paid off. But for the track I won't be using the PSS, I'll be on 18x10 Enkeis with some real track only tires.

Or worse yet, giant wheels, and then stretching tiny-*** tires over them. Stretched tires make me want to choke a bitch.

Thats too bad. I was looking forward to seeing you out there this year. Shado will likely be out there along with Bobo and even maybe Blades so at least we'll have some new folks in the Z crowd at the track.

Well let me know when/where. I would at least be able to do a Hyperdrive or two with you guys, but I just don't think I'll be where I want to be to spend the coin on a full weekend.

That is why when I ran my RE50s literally until they caught on fire, I purchased four from a forum member on here who was upgrading to RE11s and did not want to keep his, They had about 3K miles on them so he sold them to me for $750.00 with shipping. If you look on here you'll find them available from time to time. When they are you must be ready to purchase immediately as they won't be available for long.
