you should at least convince him to do cai/tune. thats what really wakes up the gt500s. it will still have awesome street driveability.

but i have to admit nothing looks better than a clean ws6(probably my favorite looking car ever).

I disagree stick with a 255/50/16, a 28 inch tall tire would actually slow him down. If he had a 100 or 150 shot on top of what he already has then I would do a taller tire.

i'm only saying to do it if he gets a rear end in the car. he is still on the stock 3.42s. if he puts a 9inch in with a nice set of 4.10s or numerically higher gear, he should be fine

Even still if he gets a 9inch and some 4.10s he still doesn't have enough power to spin that tall of a tire. Now if he puts a 100 shot on there then a taller tire might be cool.

If the guy with the shelby wants to keep his factory warranty he can put a TVS blower on it with full bolt ons and be at 650 rwhp. With a KB I would think his fuel system would be at its limit. 750rwhp is about the limit on a stock 5.4 liter with a supercharger with twins its a different story can you say 1000rwhp

I always take up 2 spots with the Trans Am. That way when someone goes to open the door, it will not reach and hit my car

They are very easy to work on.. IE: plug change or injector change
