Well hello there you non-driving homo What was your best time at VIR full again? I ran a 2:07 last year in the Panoz... if I remember correctly you were stuck in the 2:08s

EDIT: Before the snake ate your Z06.

Looks good!

Let me know when you want to drive it down, we'll make a custom kit for the LS1/S14!

Be prepared to beat the hell out of the front fender wells to be able to turn with those 255/40s up there - you very well could need a spacer to clear the suspension, but you may not. You'll definitely have some rubbing though without some hammer work.

My 17X10s with 245/40s rubbed pretty bad, but I beat everything down so it didn't 100% matter. As you can see there was some tire/fender contact, lol:

Nah, 255's fit. I ran that same setup on my last s14 no issues on a road course. Drifting maybe, but if he's going full lock he's got other issues anyway.
