Favorite pic of my car at the strip in 2007



My friend took it just randomly at Edgewater in Cincinnati. Not as cool as you guys pulling tire, but i'm pretty happy with it. I need to get a set of skinnies for the front before next season.

Any major complaints running the ET Streets with standard radials up front? About to switch to that setup I think, not hardcore enough for skinnies up front yet.
