Will HRE be able to convince the SCCA and other organizations that their wheels are safe?

Kumho and their red smoke tires are available. http://www.overboost.com/picture.asp...ture%20093.jpg
Also, they have a line of scented tires.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page, to where it says D1GP EXHIBITION..."Ken Gushi in his Toyo Tires sponsored Mustang. Gushi, the fan favorite, didn't last long as he and the Mustang collided with the wall taking Gushi's Ford out of commission for the rest of the exhibition." That sucks. I wonder how bad the damage was?

Now,...for the obligatory BLING! haha.

There were lots of negative comments about this car on the Ziptied forums. I dont think Chris is even going for a traditional "drifter-look" with this car. I mean nobody says the following cars look like spaceships, but they sure look alot like Chris's car.

There were lots of negative comments about this car on the Ziptied forums.

actually most comments were positive except the thing about how the fenders look so wide and JGTC style, plus the grassroots killing. i love the car, i think it looks good with the JGTC style fenders, and he's already gonna get new wheels, so im not complaining. plus, the vk56de engine is gonna be so hooooot, i cant wait to see it in action and see hear the v8 engine roaring past me, bouncing off the rev limiter.

That 350 is hot.

I think the 350 looks awesome. I love the widebody and the fact that it's a convertible. Also, the engine choice is unique, I'm glad they didn't put an sr20 in it or just turboed the vq like everybody seems to do. Definetly something different.

[driftex]

i like it, but i am kinda disappointed that they gave up on the S15 so quickly. He was looking real sweet in that thing in the final round.
