Sorry bout the headers. They must make them per order or something?
Holley just must be a slow company. Maybe they are handmade and don't have the material or their supplier is slow?
I think the pirellis would be better in colder weather. I was surprised how much traction suffered. The GoodYears were bad but I don't recall ever kicking the tail out unintentionally with those or having bad traction surprise me.

Be careful with that and check for cracking.

No date yet, but I want it on the waterfront. Kind of like a party, water skiing, boating, fishing tournament, etc. And lots of alcohol.

Yeah the Pirelli tires were crap until I drove for a few miles. Maybe Holley is making them per order or they ran out for the holidays and are making more now.

Roger that. The P-Zeros on my V6 RS were ABSOOLUTEE GARBAAAAGE in the cold temps. Surprisingly, these Goodyear summers I actually need to give effort via accelerator to start slipping. I do not know if its because they're wider, the suspension difference between my 6 and 8, the difference between it being auto vs manual... or just the tires simply working better in the cold than the pirellis.

I'm not worried about cracking just because I want to replace these tires with some A/S ones eventually. If they do start cracking though, I'm definitely not going to drive on them... there will be an order into tirerack ASAP for the A/S. I'm going to miss the amazing handling and dry traction of these summer tires though.
