Silly me.

And I never said that it made it a race car or white trash. You people are delusional, it seems. How else do you read what I type and come up with something completely different?
Sheesh
Funny, have you ever personally hydroplanned driving with skinnies, any real world experience at all? Because i have 3 years of dding a car with skinnies, and seeing plenty of friends do it all the time also. Guess what, car drove fine rain or shine.

Im not sure i even deem this worthy of a reply, but what the hell. It was one of the most back peddled half assed responses i have ever seen.

Nowhere did i say "EVERY GUY" i said A lot of guys, a lot of guys in my opinion would be anything over 10? 20? 50? And im damn sure there are over 50 guys using 165 street tires as front runners IN THE WORLD.

Don't care what anyone else thinks as long as I have a good advantage of winning.

You realize people put them on their cars to race, right? It's not a fashion statement.

The 3rd gen didn't need them to win. Just sayin.

As my earlier statement clarified, for racing I understand, but to just cruise around on, not a good look. Cars are a ALL a fashion statement! They are an extension of personality.

No, its not a stroker like some local dudes think.

Well 30k miles on 165s and 5k so far on 185s rain or shine without a single issue. I must be doing something wrong.

You clearly haven't seen much rain. When 245s and 265s, maybe a month old, hydroplane, that's fun. 165s. Not so much.

And what's plenty of friends? 5? 10? That's not very many people, FYI.

But go ahead, keep thinking that skinnies and bigs is considered a street setup, because you and your buddies did it. It's clearly not a race setup, that's why you see drag cars with regular width tires up front. Lol

Nice what heads and cam? TPIS ZZ9 and Superprofile I used to love back in the day. I ran the Superprofile in my third gen with 1.6 stud mounted rockers. No one could hear it.
