OMFG i love DR's oh man i just bolted on a set of bf goodrich drag radials i have in the garage for the track, i bought them last year just never bolted them up to take for a spin. well just did and let me tell you i was impressed. never have i gotten traction like that in that car. im rolling on some hard KD's right now and i cant even barely get into it without traction control coming on. well i launched the car at almost 3k w/the dr's and barely any tire spin same with when i nailed 2nd. i am so impressed i left them on for tomorrow. so picture my car w/ the z06's up front and y2k chromes in the back. looks nice ghetto but the **** runs like hell.

hey traction control stays on in my car, i dont have this thing to loose it doing some stupid *** move like ive seen tons of cars. Vette2Vette salvage yard is a friend of the family so my dad always took me there to show me the wreaked vettes, kinda instilled some fear in me. that aint a bad thing. ive seen way too many c5's completly wreaked w/blood still all over the place, half the interior parts in my car came from wreaked vettes.

Did your car come with the "competetive driving" setting?

I run around with 550-560 rwhp on motor and have the 150 jets in and haven't encountered a situation I couldn't handle without TC.
TC spoils the fun.
