Night and day over the spin happy Goodyears. I can imagine what they feel like when warm and dropping the clutch from 3500 rpm.

Does it mean you use street tires in the front?

Have Stillen mud flaps, so I don't have fears of rocks being kicked up by my own tires. Now following another FGT too closely is an story.

Luv those sticky tires

Yes, the Hoosiers transform the GT into a slot car in the turns & a jet car on the straights! Luv 'em.
