We even ran on a 315 front tire!
Well, we did put on a noisy exhaust...  |
I had no idea. Well at least it performed to its appearance. Incredible driving and that exhaust sounded sweet as he wrung it out on the straights.
The only thing missing from this image is the heat waves coming off the car. Otherwise, it captures the moment perfectly.
