I'll probably get them when the stock tires wear out. go to 9.5s all around. trying to figure out if I can fit 18s

what is the stock width in the rear?

and have you checked out CCW's? they make some really nice wheels

Dan, I've been a slacker and had not noticed your thread on the new 5.0. Congrats man! I know you've been working on something between the 5.0 or a Bimmer. Its sharp! Guess we won't be seeing you at Z Nats though eh? Either way, thats one nice looking Stang!

I was actually planning on Znats, but have to be in DC that weekend

I will still be out for Zdayz, etc, though.

Thanks! Get your SL's yet?

Sorry I won't be able to see you and the new Stang when you're up in D.C. Glad to hear we'll see you next year for ZDayZ. I'll try and remember to bring your fold up chair!

The SLs are still enroute. I figure mid-October arrival and then shipped here by end of the month.

Cool. Stoked to see pics of that setup. Make sure to get some vids of the track day too

I'll also be around for the meet on the 8th I think. I'll be in town for AUSA.

It's not really a problem, there were just a lot of vocal complaints from people that can't shift. The few transmissions that were actually defective (Like the early 370Z 6MTs) were all repaired or replaced AFAIK.

pretty much this. I've driven 5-6 new 5.0s and the transmissions have all been pretty solid.
