i put them on the car as a bet then raced in the NMRA columbus last year an they seemed to be a big hit besides it is really cool to be able to drag your nuts across the ground at the track when you launch!
cant seem to do it on the street yet. I didnt put them on there to be a RedNeck or any of that **** but the thought has crossed my mind

Mouthy and Cocky.....Typical of a yankee.. And Svo calipers,master cylinder,aftermarket porportioning valve and rear ssbc rear disc swap would help out tremendously and would keep the 4 lug pattern.

THAT'LL BE ENOUGH cammedlx..no need to contribute to the nonsense, thank you
