Wow your too kind...im not sure if i could offer that! me and my boys might be out there as well

I'm going to drop the rears from 35 to 28 and start from there. :tup:

I have my own little battery powered air compressor, woot! good idea though, makes sense.

The Brembo cars come with a compressor since we don't have a spare. :icon17:

Weight savings. :tup:

As long as I have a can of that slime crap, a tire repair kit, and compressor I should be alright. :driving:

Sibze 09-15-2010 10:42 PM

Sliicks yes but stock up front.

I guess at this track if your moded car can run under 11.00 you need a cage???? So they told him take it a bit easier or stop racing...

You will. You can save over 100 lbs by pulling the passenger seat, rear seats, and spare/jack.

3.55 and 3.73 are the options.

The 3.73 cars are going to accelerate the quickest but will have lower highway mpgs than the 3.55 or 3.31.

Does ride quality or anything else besides MPG suffer?
