I'm guessing my initial hasty weights were a little off based on what Scott and kkakonn have weighed? I ordered a digital scale this morning, so I will try and get better weights with the RE-71-R's when the scale arrives. I'll get a test weight to verify it is close before posting anything. I obviously don't know what the tires weigh before hand, but it will be some more data regardless. I'll also bench them against the factory wheels. Again, the GA1R's are works of art, period!

I mean...I DID love Forgeline's before I worked here. I always tried to get our Pro-Touring hot rod customers to run FL's when I was at a hot rod shop in WA State. Then, I got to really enjoy the people here and moved across the country to work here haha. Good thing my wife has family in the Midwest :cheers:

Well Darren, I'm sure for the right deal I'd let you drive the 350 when I get it.
I'm not that far away.
DONE AND DONE :lol:
Your pricing will be based on a sliding scale of allocated seat time for me. THE LEFT SEAT, so don't get tricky.

FIRST, those are some really good looking, really light wheels and anyone would LOVE TO HAVE THEM. That said I went to the forgeline site, and if I'm not reading it incorrectly it's going to be 6k+ to upgrade to these bad boys. I am in no way saying that the price isn't fair, but I don't know that I could justify spending that kind of dough for the performance I might pick up. For those who do I will just stare and practice deadly sins #1 & #6.

I get that. Keep in mind we're about 2 pounds over the R carbon wheels and load rated for full race slicks. But, they are definitely an investment. We recommend selling a child(ren).

You can probably get by just selling parts of the child(ren)... That way you could still watch them grow up...well, most of them.

I am wanting this to come across in good light, and I know you are messing with Darren, but it is an awesome time for car types, and the fact that U.S. vehicles can clobber high end cars costing 2-3 times as much, is cool.

This is my first HP Ford product, with the exception of an 89 SHO, that being said, they are all nice these days. Dave P., the lead on the S550 platform stated on 'A Faster Horse' that he wanted to see automotive manufactures in the U.S. all to be successful, including GM and Chrysler, and that 20k jobs have been lost since 2001.(Dave is now head of Ford Racing program.)
Andddd, yes I think Ford did an awesome job on this vehicle. I am looking forward to see how it will shake out autocrossing, knowing that its intent is for the track. I will have it on the track occasionally as well....
