Forget the 325s, that STS looks nasty.

Nice setup man.

I was wondering what that shiny thing was under the car, then i read your sig, dam man your car must fly... By the way im thinking of goin the same way with the mt's and the prostars, how much that run you? I love the stance it gives the car, looks niiiiice. How do the mt's hook up with that power, im assuming youve got quite a bit.

Thanks 1slowls1, the wheels from summit with tires was about $1250 i believe. I had some other parts on that order so i dont know for sure the exact amount. I only had the car at the track once after EPP got her all done. And i had a bad MAF in the car, and with me driving, bad launch, hit the rev limiter in second, and she still did 11.2 on 6 lbs of boost. With the MAF replaced i gained another 60 horse, so i should have broken into the 10's on my first pass. So with new wheels and tires i am confident she will break in the 10's on low boost setting. Don't know about 14lbs of boost.

Looks great, Scott. Did you have to roll the fender lips? I assume you've got tubular LCAs and did the BFH mod, as well.

Looks very nice, thats probably the exact wheel/tire combo that I'll be going with in the future, after I buy a 12 bolt. Then I'll actually be able to launch the car

Hey, yellow thingy..where is your wing on the GTO...that looks weird...how did you fill the holes in the trunklid???

Scott, did the wheels fit without grinding, and do the tires hit the inner fenderwells?

I took it off to lower my drag coefficient. Now it goes, like, 200!

Scott (SDB), are you thinking what I'm thinking about Scott's wheel and tire combo?

Yes,. that is why I was asking all the questions...I am thinking about a pair of 15X8 rims with ET Drag 28X9X15 slicks, or just my stock Camaro wheels with 27X1-.5X16 ET Street's. The big radials are a nice option though.

The rear tires are 27.9 inches tall, and the front tires are Mickey Thompson's sportsmans 1573.
