CARNAGE

2morrow said:

I got MT SC's in 305 in the rear and those tires have grip issues with stock power. I couldn't imagine running 600-700 horses with those on... lol.

The only times I got them to work well were on 100+ degree track days.

Yeah man I feel your pain. I have a set of 18 I'll use at the track. But I'm probably gonna run Toyo R888 285 in the rear for my 20's daily. I had them on my C7 & they dead hooked & lasted a while.

That is the sexiest rubber I've seen in a while!

Interested to hear your feedback on the R888 285 on the rear.

I have 295 MPSS on mine, but considering switching to the R888. I've got a Procharger going on the car this upcoming weekend and want a tire that is going to hook up.

Sweet build. Interested in how the tires work out too. My super sports aren't holding up when boost kicks in and I don't want to run around on a tire that will only last me a couple thousand miles.

The pictures I posted are from my C7 install. I won't be getting the R888 until the MT are gone which looks to me will be shortly. I have that right foot disease boostititis.

On a side note I switched from Solo Race X-Pipe to Thunder. I love loud but it was too loud with headers. The Thunder is awesome, its by far the best exhaust set up I've heard yet with headers. It has a nice deep tone, no drone & screams on WOT.

thing is sexy af lol auto or manual reason I ask power wise im going a similar direction my car is on order haha so im doing a ton of reading on here to make the best choice

Thanks man! Auto, it's way more comfortable & reliable for FI. Plus with the tap shift you can hold gears when roll racing just like manuals.

3.15s? and I plan on stealing your wheel set up ? tell me where to order them I think they would look amazing on gb as well.

I have 3.55 gears, it's a toss up between them & 3.15. I've seen both in the 9's which is all I wanted for now.

What did you use to smoke your tail lights? Tint or something like the Rustoleum Tail Light Tin Paint stuff?

I had them painted at a body shop, I'm not sure what they used but it's transparent when the lights are on or the brakes are applied.

I will try to call them & find out for you.

You car looks mean af.

Any updates on this? Your car is nasty and the way the tire/wheel combo set the stance is perfect.
