Haha, right? They totally turn left....at the end of the drag strip.


"JL Audio box with 2 10″ Speakers" - Nuff said.

"19×8.5 and 19×12 DPE CS5v1 wheels in Matte Black
225/35/19 and 265/35/19 Nankang NS-II Tires" -If you want to tell me that rocking 265's on 12" wheels is "good" stretch? C'mon.

"K&N Cold Air Intake" - This is a shop car?

This is a show car man. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not meant to actually go fast. It's meant to look cool.

Because you cant have a 2nd set of track wheels with trackable tires right?

A set for show and a set for go. UNHEARD OF!!!

I was mistaken its not a shop car but it was built by TeamElite

OK, but we are talking about the wheels and tires on the car RIGHT NOW.

Those are absolute junk, and that was my point. You were defending that these tires are actually great tires and the stretch is totally optimal. We never talked about running multiple sets of wheels/tires.

Regardless, I want to meet this owner, and I'm going to ask him what his best times were at Summit Point in THIS CAR, and I'll wager to guess he'll chuckle and say, "No, this is just for show man".

But, if you decide to rock some stretched tires like he's running, and then think you're going to hit the track like that, tell me how that goes at the tech inspection

Did I ever specify that I was talking 100% about those EXACT tires? Pretty sure I didn't. I also already said the tires were ****. I still say Stretch is good. The specs listed certainly are on the other side of "good stretch".

And no I wouldn't track on that stretch or those tires but thanks for the sweet tip bro.

^--You said it, right there--^

I was talking about the Porsche in the photo, AS IT STANDS. When you say it's doing it right, I'm not going to assume it's any different than all of the information that we know right now, which is that he apparently gives no f-cks about grip on his show wheels. You cant defend a car based off of nothing more than it was made by some group called TeamElite - you need to say, "Oh, yeah, those tires blow ***! They have some super sick 18" wheels with Toyo R-Comps hidden for their time attacks!" Until then, it's a 650 HP Porsche (assuming he's even got it F/I now, considering in your own write-up back in September, he was still N/A) with crappy tires that have a contact patch smaller than the 370Z's sport package rears.

Changing a tire from the "optimal" for a wheel of one size isn't going to handle much different on a wheel that is a whole 0.5" wider. I wouldn't even define that as "stretched".
