yeah, notice the signature outlining the installation of a greddy turbocharger making 291 whp? i'd say you need all the traction you can get when you let all those horses gallop.

man, with a turbo, you need all the traction you can get.. even if it is 291whp! every bit helps at the track!

Slicks are bad ars! awesome wheel/tire combo by the way

the slicks look badass! hot rodders are crazy down here. their is a C% that runs around on slicks all the time. when its dry.

would the half shafts handle the slicks?

I would think the shafts would handle it........but the slicks would get chunks and tears in them pretty quickly........Hoosiers are really good but they are job designed.........mainly 1/4 at a time.........not daily driving.........they are designed differnatly than a street tire......looks really good though......
