I topped out a Z-28 and it was nowhere near as stable as the WS6 above 140. Maybe its aerodynamics package of one vs the other anyone know what the downforce created by one vs the other at speed.

Yea i dont know if its the second set, but **** ive had mud terrains on my truck for over 30k and they still have decent tread, so i dont see why tires on my car cant last..

you can make street zrated tires last awhile, as long as your not being a moron every chance you get...if i had to replace my tires every 6 months, that $$$ would break my ***

11 Second Club
But this one time at band camp I got really drunk and played spin the bottle Seriously, I got drunk at a house warming party and asked a friend I worked with to drive me home since he was sober. He drove me home in my Formula with his GF following in his car.
We're on 590 which is a three lane highway and normally isn't watched very closely by cops. He's doing 65 with me in the passenger seat when he decides to nail it. Anyone with 3.23's knows that 65 is a nice sweetspot for a 2nd gear downshift. I look over at the speedo and see he's over 120 (took no time at all).
Then I look over and see us pass a cop that was on an on-ramp. We had to be going at least 125 and the cop had his lights on. I was like "dude, you are so going to jail". I'm pretty drunk now so I start laughing and busting his chops. But the cop never entered the highway. My friend had slowed back down to 65 and finished driving me home.
All I can figure is the cop had pulled someone over, gave them a ticket and was still sitting there finishing paperwork.

I buried the needle at 155mph in my 98 WS6 4l60e(4speed auto) and it still kept climbing! Im sure i hit somewheres around 167mph before i finally slowed down. what a rush it was 1:30 on I 95, who could resist
