Do you really expect to get 30,000 mi from a set of tires on any performance car?
Problem being that the ZL1 suspension is tuned for the oem tires. If you're going to mess with the suspension then why get a ZL1?

Then again, why get a ZL1 if you're going to do that?

I got about 27k out of my stock tires, still have them on, their nice and smooth now If I can still manage to keep the thing, still haven't made up my mind for next springs tire setup. In a few weeks the winters go on, and il be looking for mud..

Anyone see the american top gear the other night with the rental driving?

Hey Brendan you should never crunched the number as they say if you want to play you have to pay

Buying a muscle car and worrying about what everything cost ruins the enjoyment

Need a date.

Always wanted to do the formula SAE project but Bucknell didn't offer it. So I did BAJA SAE.

The BAJA project? Very similar to formula but its an off road vehicle.

I was responsible for the design of the drive train and suspension.
