First 120 M.P.H.
Got some new BFG G-Force t/a kdws 255/50's put on today so I had to try my first hole shot, no wheel hop some spin but it grabbed fairly well, I was having so much fun listening to that motor go thru the gears I couldn't stop, looked at the speedo 120 mph it sure seemed like a short time. H owever the hood popped up, but the safety latch held, I heard of others having this happen , anybody figure out what is causing it. I can't wait to get my mod's done cai and a tune to start with. This thing hauls *** now. For everybody waiting for thiers it's worth it, this car is awsome to look at and drive.

I thought it was the back corner of the hood by the windshield that people were saying was shaking around....
I have had mine up over 130 and the hood was perfectly stable. The wife was a little squirmey, but the hood was fine.

yeah, we all did but they are about as skinny as the tires that come stock on a focus and look rediculous on the mustang...i do agree however that they do handle very well, esp in the rain for stock tires...BUT, i am much happier with my new setup.

Hey don_w what wheels did you put the 255's on? Stock wheels? If you could take some pics that would be awsome. Thanks, Brad
