Pulled up next to a GTO(not sure which year 04-06) at a stop light today. I asked the guy how he liked it and he said he loved it. He asked me how I liked mine and if I had any mods. I told him about the mods and the rear wheel HP. I don't think he believed me because when the light turned, he floored it. I had not planned on running him but when I realized he was going for it, it was on. Even with the redonkulous wheel spin I blew the doors off it. I think it took him by surprise. I know you all expect that outcome but it is still cool when it happens.
After he put his car back together we talked some more at the next light. Cool guy. On a side note: These Nitto 555's can suck it. I'm tired of the hockey rink BS. INVOS are coming soon :poof:

I'm sure he doesn't want to talk about his track time... He had no traction.

I don't think the Invos will help. I'd look into the NT05 thats what I'm waiting for.

I was told they should be releasing more sizes later in the fall.

if you guys think you have no traction you need to try my hankooks. I've never seen a tire that has sooooo much side grip and just about the worst forward traction I have ever seen.

My stock 245/40/19 bridgestones hooked up better than my 275/35/19 hankooks...

measely 433hp and ran consistent 13.0s.........LOL

Starting to make me reconsider the not-so-distant purchase of the INVOs...I was looking for better 60' times without DRs.

check my sig for sizes, but the new evo 12's that car and driver liked so much and for what they tested they are great road course tires awesome side traction just not very good forward traction.

granted I have over 427rwhp, but in first I can light them up while moving if I punch it anywhere near 4000 rpm
