Message on the car now. Got them the day before ZCON and wasn't pleased with the straight-line traction.

Got to ZCON, put it on the roadcourse. To my pleasant surprise, after the first lap to get them warmed up, I couldn't be happier. Both straight line and through the curves, the tires really impressed me. Even through the session in the blistering heat and pushing the car hard they never got greasy on me.

On pumpfuel at ~18psi the car puts 585HP to the wheels and ~500ftlbs TQ. I've also got the NA 4.08:1 differential - loads of torque at the wheel. 1st gear is always useless - gotta pedal it a bit, but 2nd gear when boost comes in they'll get a small touch of squeal and really dig in. They put the fun back in driving. :)

Also, these are only on the rear of my car. I will be putting a set on the front very soon in prep for ZNationals. I look forward to beating up on a bunch of cars again. :)
