That used to be true - old and responsible me is reluctant to encourage the kid working at my current smog place to do something that might get his boss shut down. Stupid conscience is interfering with my smog operations.

For a few extra greenbacks it would.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

One of the few nice things about Mass...if your car survived the salt and roads for 15 years it is exempt from emissions. They do not give much faith that cars survive to that point, which in many cases they do not. However they still have safety inspections, which is always funny because the place I normally go the fellow is too large to fit into GT3 seats, he tried it once and could not get out of the car, so now I just drive it in and honk the horn/que the lights and done.

Really want to try Michellin PS4's as my next tire. I know Michellins run wide and tall..a 285/35/18 won't look stretched on 11.5" wide wheels, will it? 285mm ~ 11.25". Currently running 315's in the rear, and 245's in the front, which is a tad "meaty."
