You just volunteered for video duty - if you ever bring that sorry 996 cab down here.

We got any pro drag racers to consult?

Tire designs and purpose are vastly different. A drag slick shares almost nothing in properties to a conventional street tire.
- run very low tire pressures (as low as 8-10psi)
- Low pressure contributes to tire rotating on wheel and the need for beadlock.
- Tire design, sidewall height, tire pressure, and rotational speed are primary contibuters to tire "growth". 60 mph would be well below the peak "growth" you would ever see.
with a conventional tire design these effects are not even in the same scale.

tool, with such a bad-*** ride couldnt you pring for a good detail? i mean $225 man cmon! haha.
Those are some bad-*** number though. and out of a 2.5l turbo! I would expect the first 3 seconds to be the lag time! haha. looking forward to the vids!
