Vinnies car is very impressive by the way -- nice job! You could tell from the smile on his face HE LOVES IT... and after all... that's all that really counts.

Yup Shocked runs DIFFERENT wheels and tires because it is wholly unreasonable and unsafe to run 9's on short sidewall street tires. No other parts are changed on the car except for the wheels and tires. So with just the help of a lug wrench, Vin drives the car on the street, has tracked the car at Pocono and Road Atlanta, won the last Year One Autocross, runner-upped at Run Thru The Hills 4 and clicked off a 9.98. It also was one of Camaro Performer's top 10 last year.
The car is an-in-your-face showcase for the versatility of Ridetech's Street Challenge Air Suspension and Twist Machine's manumatic technology.
Air springs and automatics work in pro-touring. Vinnie and Shocked also puts on one hell of a show for the crowd. He will be back out this year at Motor State and Run Thru the Hills.
Here is an autocross vid.
