Or was this just simply "Because I can" thing?
it's totally a "because I can" thing

I had someone do basically the same thing to my car, and Blackonblack got me interested to how they did it (I thought the shock towers would have to be moved before some of the other parts) so I'm going to have to tear the rear of my car down at some point

also, people do 1.2 & 1.3 60fts on 275 radials, why would you need to run a 325? when a 275 would have gotten you by with alot less hassle? is a 325 really needed? why so wide?


care to explain?

Please?

You know black, I used to think you were an ***, but I think I've come to realize your just speaking your mind.

I'm starting to like you, you call it as it is

thanks, i just hate to see someone just go and talk a bunch of dumb stupid ****..

but i do think its funny when someone tries to justify hate on another guys car, and in the process makes himself look like a complete jackass..

Wow, way to fly off the handle. Is there a reason you take offense so easily?

1. My car has more than 200rwhp. Right now it has 0, but it's apart.

2. People do fine with 275 drag radials, but I liked the wide look of the 325 and it didn't take any more hassle than a 275 would have. I mounted it on the wheel and put them on the car. You had to change the whole mounting system of your rear end.

3. I wasn't bashing your car, but I guess when someone doesn't automatically agree with you or praise what you're doing, it's an insult.

I could have spoke my mind to, and said I think the wheels are ugly, which I think they are. I didn't, cause it had nothing to do with my question.

You're the guy with the huge IWIN tattoo on your torso and the same decal on the back of your windshield, right?

Damn, blacksls is a sensitive dude.

I wonder if we will see this car in a mustang magazine some day, when it's completely finished.
