Oh Yeah baby
Amazing how many times I've heard about the 5.0 being faster than the SS. I always knew of a fix for that but ironically others tried that same deal I think and came out slower than the 5.0. Well is this so , or is it not. Well here goes, tonight I decided to take the 20x10 275-40-20 60lbs nitto nto5 wrapped TSW nurb off the back and place it on the front for a test of which tire is stiffer and the better performer up front. With the rear I placed the 8lbs lighter Enkei Reigen with Hankook Ventus V12 evo lots of grip in the rear at 19x9.5 and 52lbs. The overall diameter difference is like 1 inch total between the 2. Well results were , better and way quicker steering input that made an Evo or STI seem meaningless literally and as far as acceleration is concerned well let's just say that I really don't want to put the TSW 20x10 in the back anymore not by a long shot. The car gets off the line like a retard and pulls like a Bull with a lightning bolt up it's rear end no joke. I always knew that just with lighter wheels on the rear the Camaro SS would be just as fast as a 5.0.

Well you also went an inch smaller on the over all diameter of the rear tire, effectively making the gearing a bit shorter. I always though the SS and the 5.0 were neck and neck in acceleration for the most part.

4 doors= more whores. You are stuck with 2 midget girls in back at the most. Ladies love the G, it tingles their G spot. I would post pics of the G, but porn isn't allowed on this forum. Sadly. If you comment past this point, then you agree with me. Regardless of what is in the said comment. Last edited by 08-G35s/6MT; 06-04-2013 at 01:35 AM. |

So what is the 1/4 for both cars? Is the stang with its cougar motor better the the camaro with its LS3 ir is it an issue of weight?

Light rear wheel, with a tire with more sidewall for grip, and essentially making your gearing shorter.....so of course you should get off the line quicker.
Don't worry about G35...he runs the N02 and says its a "bolt on"

I agree, definitely going to go with 18 or 19's next. with a lightweight setup you can lose up to 50 lbs of rotational mass. I believe the stock GT wheels are like 18's (19s with brembos), much lighter than the RS 20s.
