Car weighs 3185 lbs with a 3/4 full gas tank and me in it...so the car is 3000lbs.

I didn't have my ZIs around to compare the ZIIs as for width...sorry.

google maps says 6:45 - 7:15 from 19446 depending on traffic. I think I got the 8hrs from cupcake, he is about 30min north of me.

Still tho, I am not going unless its a 3 day event, which the NASA MA event in October is...

rent me them ZII's to do my TT at NJMP in April and we'll get a good baseline of how fast they are compared to Z1s. I have a set of almost brand new 245/40/17 z1's on K1 rims...

Nice review on the zII, wonder if they will still last as long as the zI if they made the compound any softer.

I think imma pull a Tim B and get some 300 tw all season tires for de. i needs to work on my drift skillz.

Are you thinking of those Sumitomo's he was using, if you are, those are summer tires not A/S.

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

Why don't chu just get a set of Conti DW's, cheap as hell on closeout.

Or if you want a little more gear for the BB Red.
