I would tend to agree, but it would still be a worthwhile track test. There is actually a whole list of cars I would like to see compared.

if 15 was a 2015 then i'd like to see it happen. But its a 69 thus making it superior in everyway....except for 35 mph impact requirments.

I agree it would be fun to test. Heck, I would pay to watch. As stated before, I would like to see it go against the new z/28, especially since Mark was involved in the engineering/track testing.

Really more of a ZL1 and GT500 competitor than a Z28 one.

Maybe if we were only talking about drag racing, but that's not the case.

Hey Mark, did you not go with a wider rear wheel than 12 simple for space reasons? Or was the width what you wanted and liked?

Well it's certainly not a Z28 competitor by a long shot.

The BFG Rival 335/30R18 is designed to work on a 18 X 12. A 18 X 13 would have been too wide because the Finspeed Mono Blocks come in a 12 or a 13. No 12.5 inch.
