Maier is looking like the way to go for me, plus he's got cool stickers.
The LS doesn't sound like a bad idea, I hear they're putting them in show cars now!

Dan -- I think if you took a ride with Charley - or me - or Chet - or Pete.... you'd be pretty shocked at how well simple stuff on skinny race tires can "hook and book". Build these for the street - with fatter tires (although 200 TW etc) and they'd be similar I think for handling. We're only using 245 X 15 tires -- and the street guys are running 335's. So we're running a tread width of 9.6" vs a 335 X 30 X 18... or 12.7"
