CF is difficult to photograph so far. I've got to find a better way. it's either too dark or looks too light if you flash it.
Neither is really a track car, so I'll do them both. I've had the 360 to the track and it was great but the brakes went away, so I had new fluid and pads put on along with better track tires so I'll try it out soon. I won't take this one until I have a clear bra put on next week.
BTW, the wheels save 11.5 lbs rear and 8.5 front compared to stock TT wheels.

No! Not another Tip vs. Manual degenerative thread ...

The wheels are HRE C-21's 9 in the front and 11 in the rear.
Yes they are the B-stones and I'm not sure yet, I haven't gone to the track yet. I'll let you know but the PS-2's would have been my first choice, however I didn't have a choice.
As far as Tip goes, this car is my daily driver and while I live suburban I often encounter traffic, so I'm not at all disappointed, in fact I wanted the Tip. I don't care if it's faster 0-60 or any of that, I don't drive that way. Secondarily, my wife can drive it (if she MUST) so I get points there too. Actually in sport it shifts much faster than you or I ever could. Faster than my F1 360 as well, but only 5 speeds. The TQ curve is so broad however 6 speeds on this one would be T*t's on a Bull.
If that was intended to start a controversy, I won't take the bait, get yours the way you want it. But I'll bet you didn't mean it that way anyhow.
Oh BTW, I'm not sure if I should get the lugnuts powdercoated to match the spokes. I have a bias but I'm not sure. What so you guys (and girls) think?
