Again, welcome & congrats!

Would you happen to have video with decent sound clip of the stingers on your GT500?

Thank you everyone !

And quick question, does the car fishtail at times because I've had that Happen 1-2 a few times and even from 3-4rth when punching it! The Mickey Thompsons 305s go on today but still pretty crazy to have all that power. What is the best way to control the car when putting all that power down?

It is called finesse on the throttle...

Yup. There's a learning curve with the figh hunnert. Heck, she changes her behavior with temp changes...be extra careful in the cold for example cuz the normal skins become ice skates.

I ended buying MT 305/35/20s and boy what a difference ! I don't fishtail and maybe spin for a split second. The car feels grounded and more stable on turns, greatly reccomended!
