Haven't you guys seen the Civic dragsters with the big front tires.
Thats' the style.
Sure is a good way to put 245 tires on the front.
Just drive on smooth straight roads and there'll be little rubbing issues.

I rented an XK8 from Hertz a few years ago, and that's how it came to me. No understeer at all.

What a dumb A$$! How many times have we seen this??? How STUPID can these people be???!!!
Hey, Perry, not sure if you are aware of this, but that pic you use as your avatar was the cover of the Austin Annual Automotive Show from about 8 years ago! I saved the magazine cover because it was an S4, more than a decade after S4's had stopped production. I just thought it was funny that a car that old was being used on the cover of the program dedicated to new and concept cars!

Didn't know that...I shot that photo in 86 or so. They probably grabbed it off a Corel disc I did years ago

That is cool! I bet they did, but you MUST have shot it after '87 since it is an S4 rear end!
I'll scan the cover for you and email a copy to you...
Best,

The '87 probably started selling in the summer of '86
