after having the 555r's i realize that performance wise the toyos, nitto 420's, perelli, and hancooks all suck performance wise. the toyos did wear nice and give good mileage though.

14.0 isn't bad for the first time out.. Remember anytime your on street tires DON'T heat them up, go around the water box, just spin them a lil to clean them off...

That's what I did the first time....I went sideways down half the track. Best run was a burnout and launch half pedal or so.

Yea they are.. my buddy has a 99 TA with Headers, SS3600 and i tuned it. he hangs with me side by side on the interstate from 50-140 with me on 6#and 50 shot..
Those SRT-8s are no joke, AWD rules. I ran one on the street and had to play catchup.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna try and get the ebay CAI too. I don't think the stock air tube/box is doing me any favors. And maybe pull the right headlight too., as stupid as it may look.

So I guess next time to the track I'll add cam, stall, 4l80e, and slicks.

And for the love of god....does everyone and their grandmother have a camaro/trans am/mustang!

Yes everyone.
