Man, that would be illegal here, especially after what happened here in Nova Scotia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Nova_Scotia_attacks. In fact, the RCMP has stopped selling their old PCs to the public even if they are stripped.

<sarcasm> It's nice the government didn't over react. </sarcasm>

V6 (silver one) is now daily driver for my son.
It really runs well, the V6 is no slouch at 300 hp. Rides like a Caddy
Had mine to the track - went 11.77, but differential axle seal let go only letting me make one pass.
(LOTS of smoke - rear end grease directly on hot exhaust)

Noice! 1 A video from the track would be cool too! Here's an easy way to share it here, if you have a Google account (Gmail, YouTube, etc). https://support.google.com/drive/answer ... %3DDesktop

Hey Barry, what was the width on the rims you widened? I acquired a set of 20X11 with 315/35/20's for the rear and 20X9 275/40/20's for the front from a Zl-1 track racer. Was planning on using on a different project and they are just to big. I ran the tire calculator for yours and mine and came up with this:


315/35/20 28.7" H, 12.4" W
325/45/20 29.5 H, 12.8" W

You stated that your tires are 30.2"

I assume that my wheels and tires will fit if the offset is correct?

What do you think?


Thanks
Mike

I have a pretty similar setup. 10” widened oem rims on 315/45. Did you do anything to deal
With the ABS not working due to the tire diameter mismatch front to rear? The warnings are pretty annoying. I couldn’t find anything programmable in the ABS module to allow a different size front to rear.

No I have not - Shortly after pulling out the garage it throws a couple fits about ABS then disables.

Congrats on a great build in your signature - you will have a lot of fun with that ride !
