:thumbsup:Also, It is no V8, but my V6 at 6,000rpm and up just sounds amazing. I love watching others take it on the track to just hear it scream by. I can not wait for the twin turbo at 8,000rpm to by me, but that means I will have to let someone else drive my SLC and that just might not ever happen.
My favorite engine sound. Carrerra GT with the V10 at full WOT. Simple amazing. Someone needs to fit that in here as I would think there are a few wrecked ones out there, maybe.
I do not see how a 2j will fit. That engine is epic, but super long. The v8 with Ricardo looked tight to me so I do not see how unless you move the wheelbase.
4cyl making more than 500hp. Never seen one last very long. I plan to rev my v6 to about 8000-8500 with springs/valves and have 500hp all day reliable. After being in the ls376 480hp I can not imagine using much more.
Wheels- Corvette grand sport 5 spoke silver
Tires- R888 255 front 295 rear - No 500+hp torque v8 so lighter smaller tires are fine
Little small imho...305 or 315 better suited
Will a 295 rear tire fit on a 12" wide rim?
I wrote down a list a of tires and choices. Thoughts? Mainly street car.
Size 255/35/18 front
305/30/19 rear
R88 $1300
RS3 $1440
RE11 $1400
Hankook V12 $850
Nitto Invo $1030
Hankook wins the price battle easy, but are they any good? I would think of of the list the R888 would be best, but might be scary in the rain. The RS3's are supposed to be really good also, but the most money of the list. Invo seem in the middle. Choices.
Any other tire choices you all know of in the 305/30/19 and 255/35/18. Almost every tire comes in the 255/35/18 size, so at least that is good.
Edited- I was on crack when typing the tire sizes, but you all got the idea.
I run the Kuhmo Ecsta XS street and track... Great tire. They offer a 345 19 inch tire. It's what I plan to run when I get to build an SLC. .
It won't fit.
