I doubt they will get slicks on them..... that rear rotor is HUGE....
I wonder if there even going to make a drag radial that big..... 325/25/20's out back..... Silver wheels looked awsome and so did the blue on the calipers... matched the motor, seats, and badges.

Nitto makes a 305/35R20.

I don't give a damn if my car has a dyno sheet of 1 whp and .8 ft lbs of tq as long as it runs what I want in the quarter. It only made 505 whp what kind of dumbass statement is that? WHP is only bragging rights that is it

560-570 hp at the wheels would be like ~11% drivetrain loss. I think its more like a 16-17% drivetrain loss for it, putting it around 520-540 at the wheels which is fantastic imo.

I think Speed Inc did some tuning on one already.

If I remember right, the base was around 540 and after tuning, it was 573 or something like that.

Haha, I was going to ask if the old guy was the owner also. That would be hilarious, but you had to ruin my potential humor.

11.2 is awesome though. I bet with a tune they might be able to squeek out a 10.9x.

The 505 number that someone was posting was from a dyno, BUT they only ran the car up to 6k rpms.... Max Hp comes at 6,500 or so.....
