is the hood a diff. color or is it just the way the light is hitting it? I'm not a big fan of red interior... especially that bright, but it's a very nice car, nonetheless.

I like the stock Z wheels. Dropping it would look sweet, but it sucks for straight line performance. It kills your 60 ft. times.

Hmmmm...... that looks more like an '87 IROC than a 91 RS, but nice all the same! I think some 17" chrome or polished IROC wheels would go nice with it. (not a fan of the TT2, but that's just me )

If you like the stock steering wheel, I'd suggest a Wheelskin leather cover for it, would be a dramatic improvement over the spirally cover.

Sweet car!

i BELIEVE its because it kills the weight transfer. when the car is up higher it comes up off the front shocks and the weight goes to the back. when its lowered it doesn't roll as much and your rear tires will spin more.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
Daytona..The hood color matches perfectly,its just the picture,i had to crop and drop the resolution in order to post the picture,and the interior is carmine red,not the bright red,so it isnt quite as gawdy
Charlies87...Yeah,its an 87,The 91RS is long gone,I sold it to a guy locally,so i still see it
Later
Steve

yes and no. the bigger meats will have a bigger contact patch and a stickier compound will help traction too, but you NEED the weight transfer. That's why alot of drag racers take off the front swaybar. The softer the front suspension is, the better it is for 60ft. times.
