kinda more like driver error lol.. When I put my nittos on and went to the track on track day I started to do a burnout and hit the brakes so I would not roll forward. After I started to see smoke out the rear I figuired they were hot enough so i released the brake and drove forward to the staging lights. When some of the smoke finally entered the car i quickly realized it wasnt the tires smoking :bbb: . But I decided what the hell and ran anyway and turned out a 12.4@112. It was all downhill after that though. clutch slips a decent amount now. Car only has 13k on it too
