I need a balance of something that will last a few thousand miles and put 500 down at the track.

Nitto? Bfg? MT again?
Why do you hate QTPs? Should be more than enough tire for the track. Or do you mean on the street?

How is the wear on ET Streets? I need a new pair of rear radials for street driving. My nittos have lasted probably 6k miles with track visits and burnouts.

You might get by with them being new in the rain right now. But the reality is they suck in the rain. You can look at them and see there is really no place for the water to go. Good luck not wrecking out on them.

Good luck Kevin with the car. Text me if you have any questions.

-Mark
Looks like you guys got roasted.....hhmm lets see

Lots of guys on slicks........most not as fast as Hio and none are on dr....hell Hio went 11.5 w/o dr's before ever buying a dr. With that said, it will probably go 11.3~ w/o a dr now. More than likely faster than any of you w/o a dr
Multiple claims of fp'd trans needing to shifted with clutch.......Hio posts vid of himself clutch less shifting
Heater claims his cobra is stock...........Does anyone think a aftermarket forced induced engine is stock?
Bitemark tries to tell me which gears are best for these cars..........Not having a clue that Hio has driven or built every gear ratio from 3.27 to 4.56 in a f-body
Bitemark tries to explain AS to Hio............Hio already knows and tries to explain to Bitemark the symptoms of to much AS
Stoppy only wants to race for 60'.........Hio is ready to drag his *** a 1/2 mile.
Stoppy tries to say his car is capable of a corrected and converted 1/4 time of 11.96..........Hio posts a 11.96 slip with a faster 1/8 with 4 more mph than Stoppy's . Shattering Stoppy's hopes and dreams.

yep........looks like I've been owned

Irunelevens......that's probably the nicest thing you ever said to me

Since when are cars that come from the factory with a supercharger from an aftermarket company not considered "stock?"

Hio, Heaters MOTOR is stock. Having an aftermarket blower doesnt mean built motor. I'd expect an expert much like yourself to know that.

It's funny, I came onto this site to troll but my trolling has nothing on some peoples actual mindset here.
