Yep who want's to race now!!!

Ha I knew removing those plastic things help...

By the way, what kind of gas mileage are you getting with that setup Netko? I was thinking of putting a few banana peels into my tank just to get that extra boost going to 88mph (though I think it would be unfast and unfurious if I got out of my car before a race with a bunch of bananas and starts putting them into my gas tank.... )

[QUOTE=sentry65]i removed mine a few months ago - saw absolutely no point for them to be there at all.

I hate it when people say "well they were put there for a reason so I'm just not going to touch them" with that logic, no one would do something as simple as putting on a different brand tire because "there must be a reason the Z comes with those sucky-*** tires" .....[QUOTE]

Are the stock Z tires really that crappy? I hear that often but just don't have a lot of experiences with other performance tires to compare them with. It's kind of funny that the stock Z tires cost $200+ at tirerack.com (I believe), a lot more than the Goodyear F1, yet it has lower ratings than the F1.
