Damn skippy it is. I have a buddy who is still using 04's on his E30 M3.

I hawk Ford F150 SVT Lightening forum boards to find my 305-35-18's..... Talk about trolling. LOL.

Apparently the hot autocross and "road race" square setup for the SVT Lightening was the 305 RA1.

No secret, you just have to troll the SVT forum boards, and they will pop up from time to time. You'll find the occasional SVT Cobra owner with them too. If you get lucky they will leave a number and you won't have to sign up for the forum.

I've found 3 pair this year. Used, but in good shape. I have a line on another pair as we speak from another source, I can probably help the Greek out.

Greek went over to the dark side this weekend at Sebring - R6.

Greek will only be able to afford to run 2 weekends a year if he stays on hoosiers. He's way to spoiled by Toyo pricing.

Nitto rear works. His alignment was not setup properly as I managed a better time in my car on same tires than Chris Hall in Nick's car. Do the math, cause clearly I'm not a better driver and my car is certainly slower than nicks

I ran with TC off and they worked fine. Only side effect was ice mode (which I get with hoosier anyway) if you got deep into ABS. I shouldn't be driving into ABS anyway.

I'll try to stop by the Nitto booth at SEMA, I'm in Vegas the same weekend. Pehaps they will give us some more information about the supposed new tire release for the 997.

no, R6 is not expensive if you manage them.

Unfortunately you're the only guy I know that can put 36 heat cycles on a hoosier and still have them perform.

Didn't know there was going to be a release. Every response that has been posted so far has been more or less "Thank you for your inquiry. We'll take it into consideration."

It's the latest rumor.....if anything, I can bitch to somebody with some authority other than a customer service rep. I'm sure some Nitto brand managers will be there.
