Re: Cougar Replacement

1. Used C5 Z06. 2. Co-driver (who buys tires.) 3. Drive your tail off. 28 mpg highway, room to carry the R compounds inside (admittedly, it's a tight squeeze), and 400 hp sound like a great combo.

You are not "there" yet, buy the V710 and figure out the driving part before you worry about that last tenth of a second. Good Point, in fact I'm so far from "there" I usually don't even know "where" I'm at on the course. But, I am suffering from a bad case of sticky t...

Re: BFG R1s, Hoosier R6's ??? Yet another Tire Thread...

For our normal format, there is far too much downtime between run...

Does anyone have experience with BFG R1s? Did a quick search of the forum and couldn't find any feedback. It's time for the lil black Daytona (fwd) to graduate from street tires to stickies. Got some great feedback about V710s & A6's at the Pro Solo, but was curious how the BFG R1's fare against...
