getting wett
racing on new NT01's:
either i have new found faith in NT-01's in the wet.. or my aero package helped immensely! maybe both!!
i experienced more understeer flying into a corner hard on the brakes rather than powering out of a corner on these.
really surprised me, since i was running my street falkens (451's) with plenty of tread on the front.
not to say the rear didnt come out at all! lol under full boost at the top of second it would squirrel out, but continuing in third it still gave me plenty push to go for it until the braking zones.
cursing the rain
diffuser/wing working at full speed
YES! those are mustang wheels that came on loan with the New NT01's
and another shot, all thanks to my friend Frank who was IN my run group!
waiting to see my times vs the competition. i wont bother looking at the Evo and WRX times!!! :evil:

Re: getting wett
yeah, i wouldnt mind or be ashamed of rocking a full set of those rims in the right offset.
this auto X was on the New River Marine base by Lejuene. Next month they will be having one up north at Cherry Point.
Only $25 for active duty!!

Re: getting wett
i actually got a deal on the tires..
and im probably going to look to pass that deal on.
i bought them NEW. they were only used for this one event (4 autoX runs in the rain) so they barely have any use at all. 275/40/18 sticky icky Nitto NT-01's interested in the pair?? make me an offer (PM)
they are about $250 new off the rack.
