As far as looks, the stock wheels are superior. However, those will help grab some more asphalt for sure! Good luck to ya

LOL @ Jaz... Don't worry about the Ultimate PJ thread... Pace has been good about contributing...



Pace - I like the track shoes. Do you get any weight savings with those or are they just to keep your OEM wheels perty?

I wish I could get to Hallett this weekend!!

They are lighter and have what is probably a better track tire (BFG KDW's), but I also want to keep the stockers purty...

It was an absolute BLAST! Jeff Lacina from MM&FF was one of the instructors (my buddy is an instructor as well and they are pretty good friends) and for some reason he took quite a few pics of my car...? [:-] Don't know if he plans to use them or not, but he is one he!! of a driver. I got in four sessions, as well as a ride in my buddy's Factory Five spec racer. That thing is fun. There were TWO Heritage Ford GT's there running in the same group...[8D] They were both modded, and watching them chase each other was crazy.

As far as the PJ goes, all three instructors that rode with me (my friend, Lacina, and John) were impressed with the balance and the power of the car. I let my buddy drive it one session while I rode, and his only negative comment was that it needed a better tire, but that the car was very predictable and easy to drive. All while playing cat and mouse with Lacina in his Procharged 06. Did I mention these guys can drive?

If you have a chance to go to a track event, do it.
