WOW, and I wasn't happy with my 1.78 60' time.
lmao, i would be ecstatic with that kind of 60'. but i'm pushing near 400hp to the wheels, you are where? 600? lol

Around 550-575. The way my car is running now I'd be lucky for a low 12 second run.

You use your car as a DD. If so, I imagine they would wear your DRs down pretty quick

I only drive my car on the weekends. I've been averaging a couple hundred miles a month over the last year so the tires will last me a while.

Yes you do. Do I need to post the next phase of my build again or did you see it the last time?
