yup for the small investment of around $1300 for rims/tires (if you can even find the rims, as they dont make them anymore) you can ride on 15s too lol

Do you run with your back seat in? Take it out and anything else not necessary,that might help some.

our cars look better than yours anywayha huh huh ha ha [8D]

yeh other than your rims, maybe your launch/reaction time were bad as well. you never know. How many runs did you do? Rember, the magazine testers who get our car to do 15.3 stock have done this a million times and probably did multiple pulls to get a good time. I'd say just go there again with your stock rims on and see how you can do.

nah, they ran a 15.3 at like 90-91 by caranddriver in the auto, then ran a 15.3 AGAIN at 93 with a stick...i really don't think they test it more than 1-2 times cause it's pretty obvious that is not the best time they could get, but this time really isn't that bad. Sure there is room for improvement, but i wouldn't be too dissapointed. what's your 60'?

i think my 60ft was 2.3 Not sure? Lost slip , But my reaction time was good on the second runs and that was my best run 15.2 My first run was 15.5 ?

Im Getting Deep Dish Bullit's but i dont want to small going from 20's that look sharp to 18's is kinda hard but for the speed ill do it ?
Am i making the right move with 18'inch

Oyea and im getting 3:73's

Now im thinking i should atleast run 14.8 or 14.7 after that!
