I think that every young mans test of a "powerful" car is: "can it do a burnout", I was being kinda sarcastic because although it might make 350hp it can't do a burnout anymore....which IS good, but everyone likes to see/do a smokeshow once in a while

I can confidently take 45mph corners at 70mph+ (seriously) without worring about it....with the GTII's I'd start to feel the rear-end let go at 60mph or so around the same corners
what road course you driving on?

Nobody ever believes that a 3/4 ton 4x4 can handle well.......I'm telling ya, with the stiff suspension on this thing and good tires I can hang with just about anything out there short of a Porsche or a 'Vette on that road, my buddy has an '04 Civis Si on 18's and lo-pro rubber and I can stay on his *** for the whole length of that road......it drives him NUTS !!!!

I can vouch for the INDY 500's. I wanted something that would be slick and good for the track and streets so I got these and they are sticky. They are based on the slicks that INDY cars used. I ended up getting some 20's so Im using them just for strip and they are they great. I suggest them to anyone who has stock rims and doesnt want the off road type theme that bascilly every tire for out stock rims has. It is more of a street tire. The cool thing is you can get them for under $80 each.
