Default Why stock rears are no fun!
My second trip to the track in my 1995 Z28. Its a forged H&C 355 thats set up for road racing but it still boogies in the 1/4. I couldn't get any traction with my Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's (315/30/18) so I was rolling out of the light and running like a Supra!

What's this have to do with stock rears? o_0 More like "Lack of DRs" But putting DRs on 18s is slightly an oxymoron.

Sounded nice, till the end when the ricer took over :\
