Its not because of the weight that makes a difference but the increase in gear ratio because of the reduction in size... can't wait to have you back!

Plus keep in mind you may have to be selective on those 18s to ensure it will clear your SS Brembo calipers... depending on the wheel, you may need spacers.

Yup less rotating mass is the key. Think of a large vs. small ferris wheel... the larger one has to exert more due to increased rotating mass... needs more force... affects stop and go.

Is this drag racing? PS. some of the guys with 18's say it's like adding 3.83 gears to your ride because of the feeling of increased torque

Since Angel and Andy are always at each other's throats on the street, I think they should race head to head on the strip at PBIR once and for all in front of the entire club, and the loser has to wear those stupid Reindeer antlers and Rudolph nose on their Camaro for the whole week after.

What do you all say? :P Just a little friendly fun.
