Now I wonder if some lighter wheels would help also. I'm looking into the new Enkei sports wheel. There should be some more info on it in the next week or two. It's an 18X8 and it clears the Brembos. Supposed to weigh less than 16#. Interesting.

The contis do suck unless real hot out, then they hook pretty well. This was actually my first car I have ever had to the track, and my first drag race season ever, but not new to going fast.

Yeah! A while ago I started a campaign to try to get Enkei to produce a wheel for us TC owners. Apparently it worked. The info released so far is what I posted above. Pricing has NOT been announced but King, the customer rep I've been dealing with, guestimated it would be priced in the neighborhood of the RPF1 which I can't seem to find. 5 thin split spokes. Take a look and be patient. I'll, or somebody will, post when they're available.

Have fun.
