wow, orange tires??? kinda cool, might be a new trend now...
They would look cooler if they weren't so meaty, some 35 series would look very interesting. Colored tires will make for a lot of different looks...

Congrats guys!!! Always good to see nice craftsmanship shown off and the much deserved exposure.

I know you guys put a lot of work and effort in that car. The best part is the majority done in house there

Much props and respect.

The tires are "meaty" for traction. This is no show car. It puts out nice power and performs well. Peep the entry speeds from the last Formula D

I think blacking out the tails would match perfectly with teh black paint on the back of the car. Otherwise and nonetheless, SICK.

Very true. In Las Vegas we were pushing 98+ mph entry speeds the fastest speed out of anyone else.
We were so fast Tanner couldnt keep up

Your grandma has an orange *****?

And I have an open mind, I was considering colors other than orange.
