Cause it was on the car when I bought it. Don't have stock brakes to swap on. And I get mad hardpark points for the bbk yo.

Know anyone with a full stock setup or someone that wants to upgrade? Would consider trade for stock setup plus cash. Downside to 355mm is you need 18's.

I'd be interested in the trade but not interested in buying two more sets of 18" wheels :/

Road Atlanta Turn Six: Don't intend to be mean or disrespectful, but it wasn't a dirt patch, but lack of talent. This was my first GTA and I was sorely disappointed. They were slow as hell. Most regular SCCA club drivers go faster. I was expecting to see real speed, but not last weekend. Most of the cars I saw left a lot of speed on the table. Just sayin'...
Road Atlanta Turn Six: OK, here's my point. I thought GTA was "run what you brung" type of thing. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I saw a Nissan 240 with what seemed to be a V8 and I understand a lot of cars may have different engines, etc. I don't know anything about your rules, but it would seem you build a Gobal TIME ATTACK car for outright speed. All race cars are built for speed, but most are heavily regulated. I'm not talking a Peugeot track record of 1:06, but an everyday Trans Am car which can do 1:18. Hell, they race side-by-side in the 1:20s. So no, a 1:35 isn't fast at Road Atlanta for an outright race car. ****, a Playboy Mazda MX-5 Cup car does a 1:41. I was really expecting "Nemo" speed or maybe "Trazan" ability. Just my observation from timing your cars from last weekend...
sounds like one of our TT shession from last event when those other guys showed up.

107 - the number of people I passed on the right this morning.

36 - the number of people who increased their speeds a minimum of 15mph while being passed on the right.

/end commuting complaints.

So I was driving to work this morning minding my own business and all of a sudden out of no where the rain started pouring down.

^I take the subway. There's no spotting anything underground!

I got off the subway this morning, and this girl jumped in the same turn-style I was in leaving the station. She was cute, so I smiled.

There are laws in France that prohibits undertaking. But then again, it works because they are aware of such things as overtaking lanes.

Screw your guys ride to work, last evening for meh.

Drove her to the pad and I'm coasting
Took another sip of the potion hit the three-wheel motion
I was glad everything had worked out
Dropped her *** off, then I chirped out
Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didn't even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the fat burger
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
And it read Grillpt's a pimp
Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Half way home and my pager still blowing up
Today I didn't even have to use my A.K.
I got to say it was a good day.

Apparently passing on the right is against the law (not sure about PA) but what are you left with when all the slower traffic is in the left lane?
