    Does this mean you're finally ready for track days? Sounds like they might make your burnout videos less entertaining.

    I think Alex S. has beaten you on the 'man-size' tread... and he's a fairly competent driver.
    Oh noes, no more wheelspin through 4th gear?

                  It seems his car is ALL silver except for the tires, once again I'll have to say that the wheels are holding his car back just like with his MM's.

                    Did you get those CSL replicas from someplace in SoCal? I doubt there's more than one supplier for those here. If so, I know the guy who takes sells them. I think he said he sold them for $1200 (IIRC) a set and sold all 150 sets he made within a week. This was a while ago.

                      Nah. He needs some track wheels wrapped in 345/35/19s, you know, to hang with the Vipers and stuff...

                        Careful - this very moment, he's sitting at his keyboard, clenching his fists and coming up with an exceptionally mean, nasty and horribly belittling reply that will send us all running to our Mama's for shelter.

                        You should all know by now that Jordan NEVER changes his mind. Ever. Unless his brakes are bigger than yours. And, only if his M20 is bigger and better than stock. And only if...

                        Man-sized tires FTW!!!!

                          Thanks for clearing that up--I was never really sure if 195/65/14's were smaller than 245/35/18's.

                            Those are going to look stretched on an 8.5" rim, not to mention really small under the wide body kit.
