    As long as they are as lightly modded as my car is.

    Your alittle arrogant in some of your remarks, but I gotta give you props for beating on other V8 RWD cars making more power.

    I'll agree and say you seem to get that car out of the hole, but also state that it's funny how your opponents get so worked up they completely blow it at the line. It's like a mind tricks game from what I read. If they stay somewhat calm and not get so overzealous they might be able to give you a run for your money.

    Although you clearly stated that you would be running on 19" street tires and swapped to a stickier 17"- good kill.

    Either way its a hard radial pirelli. Theres nothing STICKY about those tires.

    And yea... my opponents do get VERY worked up.

    Hell, when collins went to do his burnout against me he stalled his car because he left traction control on.

    Flip flop, flip flop. Thacker, you're a flip flopper.

    thats how the game works, hell thats how my friend with a mostly stock altima ser whooped my friends trans am, srt 4, rb25 240, and all sorts of other cars. he would talk some mad sh!t and then come time to run he would do his thing and let you sweat about it and f*ck up. hell he even beat people with a 2 door jeep cherokee with the i6 and it was an auto. but your right it is all a mind game.

    Some are better at it than others.

    I know when I first started street racing my camaro at 17, I couldn't drive worth a **** and I got real nervous when I was worried about a race. As a consequence I lost to a lot of cars I shouldn't have.
    Experience is NOT over rated.

    why not heavier modified cars on street tires? That means they will have even more wheel spin. You dont think things through do u?
