Default 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?

My car stays in competitive mode all the time.I hate traction control when I'm trying to enjoy the car.

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.
