i forgot... drag radials means its a modified car... ******* forums ....
Jesus mother loving ******* **** ball christ... If i ran into a c6 z06 and it had drag radials on it but everything else was a factory stock car... i would tell everyone i raced a bone stock car. I cant stand this ridiculous debate how a different brand tire makes a car not stock. You mean to tell me if i was burn out happy and switched to a sumitomo tire that cost 100 dollars, that its a modification because its not the tire the factory presented it to me on??? Thats like saying a car that came with 5w30 mobil 1 oil that gets switched to Quaker state 5w30 is a modification and no longer means the car is stock. If it is on a 15 inch bogart race wheel, then i consider it a modification. You are drastically decreasing rotating weight which in turn will result in a faster accelerating vehicle.. If you have a factory rim and literally just changed to a diff tire... its a god damn stock car. I never EVER use the "drag radial" arguement to my advantage or disadvantage. The z06 has been out for 6 years and people have literally had 6 years to master that car and break records in stock form... why is the gt500 labeled as a 126mph car when its only been out for 2 months??? Im pretty sure ranger didnt trap 128 in his z06 within the first few months of that car coming off the assembly line. But let me guess... because i drive a ford.. i must be a mustang nutswinger...
Give me a break...

He was more arguing you saying it traps 3-4mph higher than a Z06, but in time it will go faster specially with winter coming up thats a given
But he did it in 11/06 , not sure when he bought his car tho lol

Well how about the laguna seca version of my car. Its literally in no way faster. However it does come from the factory with a competition tire on it. If i put that "factory spec" tire on my car, is my car modified?

Did your car come with that tire or a comparable equivalent? Then yes, it is modified. This is the simplest of concepts.

Not nearly as smart as you or anyone gives him credit for to make a dumbass argument like that. I'd expect that from a noob but definitely not someone who's been on the board for a while.

They are round and rubber, just like any other tires, including slicks. Since they are round and rubber, they can't possibly alter the performance of a car since all cars have tires that are also round and rubber, therefore allowing you to put any tire that is also round and rubber on any car to replace what was also round and rubber, and still qualify said car to be bone stock, because all tires are round and rubber.
