randy pobst is the shit(although ive been rooting for brandon davis this year, but it looks like his championship run is pretty much over)! awesome video too!
Nice video, honesty is the best policy. One shot looked like the tire was getting ready to debead from the rim he was working that B***CH hard.

Yea I saw that too Jake..that front tire was having the beejeebus worked out of it. I still don't know why Ford even with the KR still only uses a 255 tire for the front..it needs at a minimum a 275.
They gave the Shelby a last place finish. I think last year they gave the ZO6 the last place finish.

Few little mods: Flowmaster exhaust, BroncoBeater Panhard Bar, 15% window tint, Nitto NT 05's all around(these tires handle so well you may as well consider them a mod on a L)

88 Mustang GT with wrecked 03 Cobras drivetrain in the works. Will hopefully be complete some time this decade.

Once again I feel that a set of 275's on the front would have gone along way to moving the Shelby up the pack's finish. The M3 finished in 3rd, which in my mind makes it the perfect package. The fact the RX8 finished 4th (3rd according to Probst), a car which needs a calendar to record it's acceleration, makes me wonder why even do these tests..other than to sell magazines.
I've seen a set of 275/305's on the new M3 and that went along way as well in improving the E92M3. As the car is fitted with 245/265 setup and the new E92 M3 is no light weight at 3600+lbs.

I agree. Thats one thing I like that SVT did with the Terminators is made it were they accepted 275's up front. The only negitive to it other than more cost is the turning radius of a Terminator flat out sucks. I've driven fullsize trucks that were easier to park in tight spaces than Terminators. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying a Terminator is a better handling car than the KR because it has 275, as the KR is quite a bit better handling I'm sure, I'm just saying that on cars that weigh like a GT500 and Terminator bigger tires up front are a good thing if you are wanting to get more traction in a turn.

uummm, you are talking about the handling comparo, right??? last i heard, the RX8 is DEFINATLY one of the best handling cars on the market.
