I hear if you heat the snots out of them they dont do to bad. I only go to the track maybe once a year so I wanted a tire that would last and hook up on the street. If I went to the track alot I would of went with the M/T tires.

You do, you have to roast the **** out of them in order for them to hook! I mean sit there and make a 2nd gear smoke show for about 4-5 seconds! I drop mine to about 20psi and let them raise up to around 22psi. They are ok for the track, do alot better on the street though!

my best friend owns an '03 cobra, so i hope noone takes that the wrong way... I fully respect mustangs.... just like to give a hard time to those that are unrightfully cocky... even tho i'll never own a mustang, i guess i can't say that i dont like mustangs (like i stated earlier)... b/c i really do like the looks of the '95-'04 body styles....

im guessing this is what happens. camarojunky's races are short. he gets good traction and jumps out ahead of these 500 rwhp cars, then as soon as the other car gets traction and starts pulling up, camarojunky hits the brakes and claims the win

ha ha just giving u ****

you guys have to understand that im getting these races around town so that the running room aint so much, but non the less i drive until i cant drive anymore, im not one of those honda **** who hits the brakes after someone comes charging from behind, please give me more credit than that, im not gonna lie and say each race was exactly a 1/4 mile because i doubt they were to the line or some went on for longer it seemed like, anyhow, so whens our race will?

I don't know about you but I don't bother running in traffic. If I don't have an opening ahead I don't worry about it. And if the car is nice enough (LS1 F-body, Corvette, 03+ Cobra). We both get in a lane and drive slow to allow the cars ahead to get far enough ahead. Maybe you guys do it differently around there.

i was giving u **** cuz i know that some guys go onto forums and tell lies about how one of their races went down. or they exaggerate on how bad they beat someone and that annoys the hell out of me.

where do u live? what is corona near?
