    Naaaa, it is a handful. Especially for this event as I went with an oddball cheapo tire combo.

    That, on top of the car having completely stock suspension. It hasn't even had an agressive front end alignment. So, yes. It plows and then will hang the rear end out at will. So it's a mixed bag of tricks.

    I usually run 315's on all four corners at the track, and I can get around OK. I just finished killing a nice set of 275 / 315 Victoracers (pictured, top) and in the interest of saving money and endless tire swaps, I was running a set of 275 Sumitomo II's on front and some old stock Michellin Pilots out back. Even being an insane 335 width, they hooked up like 10 speed tires, spinning up at the top of second at well over 70 mph. That set is pictured below as it was run in the video in case you were curious what the video car looks like.

    You can hear the car spinning up, even coming onto the front straight short shifting it. Looks and sounds impressive, but it gets you no where fast. :eek:
