nice wheels. That car looks a lot better than the last time I saw it.

The F1 245s actually are giving me more traction than the RA1 235s I had been using. I can't now romp on it in 1st without just spinning the tires. And they look much better with the lower sidewall.

Just be careful if you plan on tracking with those tires. i had 17x7 enkei's with 205/35/17s and the sidewalls were nowhere near as forgiving as the 225/50/15's I run now. granted the 205/35 will be shorter

I'm thinking about doing a few sessions on them. I still have the 15" OEM with Hoosiers to use as well.

are you actually driving the car on the track now, or the super-secret driver on the super-secret spark table?

Is it Morocco Mole?

One day we'll meet up again...if I ever get any time back in Dallas.

David is the Stig, you should know him, we met at his shop.
