all i gotta say is this. If you run 12's on STREET tires no slicks no drag radials just strait STREET all year tires.. thats awsome.

 

It would have been cheaper to have built a forced induction V8 domestic and I'd already be there by now. 12's shouldn't be to hard to reach for less then $4K if you do the right mods and don't waste any on ones you don't need. Drag Radials would definatly help, I miss the 225/50 16 Nittos, they were great in the rain when they had tread. Niether BFG is that great on wet roads. I think the Toyo DR would be the best bet to keep reasonable traction in incliment weather.

 

they're dunlop sp5000s...the assymetrical ones i believe. they're M+S (mud + snow) rated, yet Z-rated. well actually i believe the newer ones are W rated, but at the time mine were made i think they werent sure exactly up to what speed they're stable to. decent tires, decent grip, pretty high speed rating, but dont hold a candle to summer tires. i say decent because they're all seasons.

i'm with ya on the forced induction v8. oh well.

 

seriously wut do u consider "old" when it comes to drivers? r we talkin 20's cause if we r u still got a long way to go anyway. By the way older drivers dont always outdrive younger drives....my grandpa drives like shit

 

Damn. If 20's is old, I must be ancient...

 

LOL. Jason, you might as well say "if you drive a green 300zx, then you are awesome."

 

Well, the good thing is, by those standards, I truly am awesome.

 

awd > my mom

 

I was gonna make a comment after you get so old your driving ability fades, but look at John Force, he still rules. A good example of an awesome 21 y/o driver is Dave Connolly who drives the Bullet Cavalier for Grumpy Jenkins. I believe there is a point when just a persons natural ability is above other peoples' greater experiance. Bottom line is someone could drive/practice for 40 years and still suck.

 

good point.
