Tried some slicks today!!!

I threw them on too see how they'd look on the car. I ended up having a lil' too much fun With the slicks on the car feels like its floating/spongy. Its the first time I've tried them and the car hooks like no tomorrow with the tire pressure low. There was one turn that I took real fast and I almost went sideways. Well now I know why they're not street approved and I have no plans on hitting the freeway. I also get more looks. hehee Jus gotta watch for pigs (cops).





Heres some vids too.

Lol try them in the rain sometime! You're right, they're not street legal for good reasons but you can launch like all hell on them. My old car wasn't powerful enough to need them though... i'd dead hook on the BFGs everytime I needed too, it was great.
New car = WTF is traction?
