KDW's? tires? The BF Goodrich, $348 ones?

Hmm, maybe I'll get them. Again, $1600 is enough to make me check the forums on there to see what people are saying, if I can find anything useful.

Don't waste the money on the BFg's. If your therory is correct, you'll get more out of the better expensive tires. Can you sell parts back?

Yeah, remove them, they go in inventory, you can sell them back at a reduced price. Not sure about tires, but don't see why not.

It worked.

I'm just going to see how good this little CRX can get. I'm out of credits for tonight anyway.

It seems to be an indication of their level of commitment or something.

OMG I finally found my timeslips from races I've run. How funny all this time I didn't know what I was running in races.

Well...now we know.

LOL

All things considered, going from 19's to 15's isn't all that bad in my case.

The funny part is clicking on your own name to see what you look at in other racers cars. Says mine has a factory intake and header, which it doesn't. Hrmm.

Also, just went 14.5. The FT lower bar seemed to help out by 8 10ths.

I know, but I think that's due to skill level. You don't recognize that it's not a factory intake, etc. I guess on your own car you'd know though.

Also, I read someone said to do T&T witout nitrous. Thought that was odd. Maybe that's just setting tire pressure and such that he meant, but I don't understand why.
Hopefully he didn't mean to not dyno with it. I would think if you're using it, you should dyno with it.

What's wrong with this description:

You stand near by and watch all the cars racing and notice this Blaze Red Crystal Neon SRT-4. You also can't help but notice that the vehicle is in mint condition. You can quickly see that the car hasn't been lowered and is riding on factory rims wrapped with factory tires. As the car passes by, you notice a factory exhaust system tucked under the rear bumper.

You can't tell for sure, but car seems to be all motor powered. Keeping an eye on the car and its driver, you notice that the driver doesn't seem to be fully comfortable racing his vehicle. He is also losing most of his races.

Uh...I know what's wrong. It's the description of a 16 second Neon!
