The problem with the Pilot Sport Cups is that they need a LOT more heat in them to work. Art Morrison had a hard time getting them hot enough to work great in our tests. I will find out about the dealer thing.

Steve you are making me proud to know you!
 
Nice driving Nick and glad to see you registered over here.

Pictures are great to the point of being art, but a video really tells the story.

I can't wait to see you get it dialed in. It will be fun chasing a bar that was raised pretty high with the 3 G Vette. At least you are not coming to gun fight carring a knife...looks like you are packing heat as well!

How much did your car end up weighing?

Thanks Pete,
I can't wait to beat on my '71.
Hopefully later this month I'll have the engine in and baseline testing done.
Then it's off to your shop for the upgrades.

Steve,

WOW! Awesome video!!! :hail: :hail: :hail:

Frank,

Ive emailed these guys in regards to buying the R888s not sure if there prices are good or bad, problem is there isnt anyone selling them at least the big ones such as Discount Tire and Tire Rack. I think there in Penn. http://www.frisbyracetire.com/
Unfortunatly they haven't started manufacturing a lot of sizes in 17" and 19" , so if your running 18s all around your golden. Many other sizes were due out in the first quarter of 08 but hasn't happened yet. Ive been heckling Toyos tech department for a 315 x 17 and a 245x 17 for 4 months now.

i agree with what was said earlier by payton king, i am not a suspension guru, but i think it might have too much grip in the back.
