Tire change can make a huge difference in a GT500..They are very traction limited.

I bet I could get a new GT500 out of the 17s staying in one gear the whole time

You'd have to shift into second I'm sure.

I really think I could have started in 2nd and only used even gears and I would have ran faster than him. I wonder if Sean remembers the rest of the mods...

I'm Impressed. Almost 10000 views and 27 pages long, just from a simple race. This has to be some kind of record on LS1tech.

Was it driver error or was it cause car was fucked up? I mean lets be real with mods you stated and on tires he should been nothing higher then low 11 or high 10s. And thats if it was 2009 or older.

He drove it all the way down the track. I was there at the track with snake95 that night for the last night our track was open. Read he below post for the full story.

I never said he was a good driver. That Z06 sounds like what the guy who tuned my car is finishing up. Can't wait to see it run.

WSsick never mentioned anything to do with driver talent, it sort of goes unsaid that if you drive your GT500 down the track and rip off a 17.9, you are a ruhtard.

Edit: This is one of my favorite videos of all time. The first time I saw it, I nearly pissed myself. The announcer does say Ford Chevy match-up even though it's a Firebird...ENJOY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHkNLmcRwy0

If you mean that he is gay for cars, then I guess you are correct.
