Default New LS driver in Hell Paso

Just traded my Terminator'd 01 Cobra for an 02 SS M6. Looking to meet up and shoot the **** with a few guys. Maybe learn and thing or two about what I am driving haha. Hopefully you guys are cooler than the Stang guys. Most of them are/were douches, hence why I did not hang out with them. Hit me up if you wanna do something. I start working half days tues. so I have plenty of free time.

Does anyone have a hook up on tires. I need all four BAD!!! I am talking to a guy that has 275-40 and 315-35 Sumitomo HTR Z's. All for 400 bucks. I saw a CAN run the 315 on the stock 9.5. I know it isnt recommended but I have to make due since a brand new set of 275 all the way around is at least 600.

I was running Fbody El Paso for about 8 years, but life caught up with me, married and kiddo. I'm slowly making my way back in there. We don't really hang around anymore but the track is where you will almost always find the fbody crowd on fridays.
On the 315's, I wouldn't air down at all. Full of air they are ok, but a no no to air down, I did it after I bought my old Summitomo's when I worked at Martin Tire.
Start tearing into the camaro! It can be fun lol.
