How about on take off, thats what grip i was refering too. the tires are good left to right, but not from north to south. I have the in dash computer that came with my car, and it has a read out of how many G's you pull during a turn, i love seeing how much my tires can hold a turn. I agree we our cars have power but, give me a break our tires break loose at the slightest of over acceleration. all i am saying is that i can't wait to get some tires that grip better during acceleration.

Amen to that....just don't want to pay the price for them, but I will LLLL
And agreed, my last Vette was a 96 LT4, tuned.....the SS is fun, but not near what Baby was. BTW I have burried the speed o in the SS, just depends on the road your on as to how it feels.
As I see it, and Im old... I to like the 2nd to 3rd acc, or just dropping it into 3rd @ 60 and just going
Just my .02, and it is really a fun car!!! peace out

Have a longer area of road? hehe we maxed out my speedo but had miles to do it. My plans for the Auto are pretty simple. Tune, Intercooler, IC Piping, and exhaust.
