Man, not to sound like a dick, but how the heck are you losing traction at 30mph with what looks like a lightly modded Fox. My H/C/I Stang doesn't even come close at that speed..and I'm willing to bet I make more power than yours. Maybe you hit an ice patch from the recent winter storm we had or your speedo is 20mph off. And are you missing your oil cap?! And since you have stock gears...you must be in dream land...

Are you from the DFW area? I've never heard of a Scepter tire and I work at Discount Tire.

Yeah, I am assuming Scepter is a Chinese knock-off. It's a bummer you're down there, I wouldn't mind checking it out. In fact, some friends of mine from work just drove down to Houston today, If I'm ever around I'll hit you up!
