I've got the same tire in a 305, but no sidewall :O

Is the NT05 a DR? Sorry, the only Nittos I've run are 555's on the street. I've had good luck on the MT's but they sure are pricey in a 19"!

Not yet. Taking it back to HPP next weekend for a new clutch (clutch, line upgrade and new slave cylinder), a few other goodies and working on the tune again. It still hunts when idling, just trying to smooth that out some more. Looking to make a trip to Denton when we get it right.

i was hoping for a sleeper look but i'll take better traction any day
The Supercharged emblems take the mystery out of it. Gotta give them poor unsuspecting C6's a fighting chance man!

Try running a 275/35 Sumitomo on the street. You get used to spinning at freeway speeds pretty quickly.

lol, i had some Hankook V12s on the stock 19s but i switched them when i put the paxton on...i cant imagine running with those at all.

i meant a sleeper with mine, it looks completely stock from the outside with a hint of intercooler in the front which im looking to cover as best i can with a retro upper and lower grill. i wont lie if asked what i have, but that "wtf" look is hilarious.

Thanks man! It does look pretty good. I was torn on getting the Dark Stars, but with the Beefcake special on the fronts, and the deal I got on the backs from AM's Ebay store, I have right at $1000 in the whole set. Can't argue with that, even though I really want the Welds. Maybe next year after the auto swap.

I thought about going sleeper, especially with the KB being so damn quiet. It's definitely fun to surprise the enemy!

Will do! Probably be over the Winter, after we decide if we're taking her to Maryland again this year or not.

Default Run the dark stars

I put the 15x10 dark stars on mine w/295-55-15 ET Streets? The car does really good. I run skinnies on the front at the track.
So far my best is a 7.11 w a1.58 60'. I think it can do better.
I hope it can anyway.
