Rims 16x9 1/2" centerline racing rims
Tires Hoosier Autocross compound 23x16x10.
When I went to the Autocross last month this dude shows up with a robin egg colored cobra kit car. Well about 1/2 way through the day I find out this dude was the fastest car at the previous weekends ProSolo races tons of competitors attend this race. 1/2 way through the day I was the fastest car at this event. He kept giving me the evil eye. Then he went out and threw down a time 0.2 seconds faster them me. So I came back with a time 0.01 seconds slower then him except ... I had a clean run he hit a cone = 2 second penalty.
I decided then and there I needed to get the setup you see above. It gets better. My car has its full interior and weighs about 400 pounds more than it should for the class I run in. The cobra is actually in a higher class and should be faster but could not get a clean fast run in for the honor of fastest car of the day.
When I return to the next AutoX I will also have about 100 more HP. When I ran last month I had not dyno tuned my car yet. I only had 245RWHP when we did my base run. I left the dyno with 286RWHP and a wastegate problem. The wastegate is fixed and we expect to see 360RWHP or more.
Here is a pic of my new tire next to the tires I got fastest time with. I hope to destroy all of them next time I see them.

What pisses me off is the FC's get no respect. Every month there is a picture of this rich ******** Viper in the local SCCA rag. He NEVER wins. He sucks as a driver and cannot come close to the cars potential. I have won in my class every month this year. Not a single mention. I amk very curious what they will write about last months AutoX. I beat everything on wheels. Including shifter karts and an open wheel Lotus 7 that usually gets FTD and a lots of hoopla in the SCCA rag every time he does.
I have yet to see a pic of my FC in the SCCA rag or even a metion of it. I know its because its not a high priced car. The Z-06's and the Vipers get all the attention.
