Yes! That's what threw me to start with.

Much better shape then the other concepts / builds.
I would take one. My first muscle car was a 95 Formula 6sp forest green. ... Oh I could do without the chicken on the hood.

Its supposed to read 'Goodyear' at the top, then as the car drives forward (or follow the sidewall of the tire as a single line of text) you're supposed read 'Eagle', followed by 'F1'. If they put right side stickers onto left side tires, it would cause it to look like this.

Here is the correct orientation for the lettering...
Not to worry, though....The article says the tires are Michelins anyhow....lol... Curb appeal and handling are further enhanced by 1.0-inch lowering springs, an anti-roll bar package, and three-piece 10-spoke Crawler Race Wheels measuring 20.0 x 10-inch up front and 20.0 x 11-inch in back wrapped in 285/35R20 front and 305/35R20 rear Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Factory brake calipers are custom coated, while a Brembo brake upgrade is available. The optional Brembo brake package consists of massive 15.0 x 1.3-inch front and 15.0 x 1.1-inch rear cross drilled rotors clamped down by six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. © Motor Trend Staff 2017 Trans Am 455 Super Duty rear three quarter 1 Last edited by 90503; 04-14-2017 at 09:26 PM. |

Agreed! I thought the 6th gen might grow on me but it hasn't, and this is by far the best '6th gen' I've seen. That said, I am bias towards Firebirds.
...And how did this turn into a thread about how to read the lettering on a tire?

Agree on the "love it without the absurdly unusable HP". Give me stock LT1 and I'd take it.
