The tires are a huge deal, but they don't give you super powers. Still need to respect the car. My 2 cents.
OK, so then RodKnock, after getting in to a knock-down, drag-out with his wife, should not suck down a half-bottle of Jack, and then show his friends just how fast that little baby can go while he holds the bottle between his knees during the high speed 360s down the turnpike?

RodKnock either has those Super Powers or a death wish! "Life is short, leave a good-looking corpse.", and don't let the wife find out about the blonde in the passenger seat

Motorhead,

Is this a Shelby or one of our cars? There are a few parts that you really need to check

We have about anything you need to fix it back up into tip top shape.

1st, to reply to some, I did not "buy the ***** iest tire", they were on the car when I bought it, the fronts were mismatched and not used, the rears where good w/ < 500mi so were left on.
2nd ly, I don't believe the tires were the sole cause of the spin-out, loose sand on the road and an LS diff were also to blame. Rear tires have been replaced.
Mad maxx: pls send 100 large to activate your plan
car4jim: sn 28, old school all the way, zero billet.
David: yours, sn 28. I would appreciate your check list.
