Thumbs up Its time for the 2007 mega-gallery (need your pics)

I've been collecting various photos of f-bodies all year, but would still like to have several more. If you would like to possibly have your car displayed in the 2007 Mega-Gallery, please post 1 or 2 GOOD photos of your car or a link to them here.

My only rules:

1. Car MUST have aftermarket wheels. Anything non-stock.
2. If your car doesn't have aftermarket wheels, it needs to be a rare color car, or custom painted, or a limited edition type model (not just an WS6 or SS, talking anniversary type cars here)

Here is a previous gallery:

https://ls1tech.com/Galleries/fbody2006/index.htm

These work well for people to see what wheel choices are out there, and pics of rare cars.

No, they're 29.5x10.5x15 stardard (non-W). 15x10 Bogarts Floyd Bolted RT. Not sure why they pooch out. I matched the gear to the tire, not the tire to the gear. I wanted to run the 29.5x10.5 and ran a 4.56 with the old setup and now have to step down to a 4.30.

No problem man. Yeah my car likes the ET Drags better than the ET Drag Radials. I went faster on a 8" slick than the 11.5" DR.

Matt in your case I wouldn't be surprised if the actual tire weight had something to do with it.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking too. The DRs were 31 lbs a piece and the slicks are 19 lbs a piece. That is 24lbs of rotating mass! Drag brakes are coming soon to get it down even more.
