They should work out to be the same weight as the 05-07 wheels . The weight lost with all ports will be gained back extra 1/2" in rim width .....and weight does matter . My rims that are 17lbs made quite a noticeable improvement in acceleration and overall feeling of driving the car . Not so much so though if ur only talking 1-2 lbs .
what rims are you using? thats about a 8lb differnce per wheel.... i wanted to get something 12lbs but its hard to find in our pattern and 18" lol

I can't wait to see a dyno of one of the these! To see if they actually rated it correctly, or grossly underrated it like the LSJ. If they rated it as it actually is, stock for stock should be a pretty good race, considering a guy here in AZ dyno'd 225 whp bone stock. 225 whp = ~271 at the crank
Looking forward to getting on in our shop as soon as we can for goodies

a 14.1 stock compared to a 14.7 stock by professional drivers i think there is a big difference... People can get 14.1s stock on a ss/sc good driver now lets see a good driver with the ss/tc i see high to mid 13's stock

I'm no pro and I did a 14.7 my very first time at the track. I agree this car should be seeing 13s with time.

Um yeah, thats called power shifting. I used to do it all the time.

I wish I could say the same. My wife would divorce me if I traded my car for that one. We nearly divorced over what I own now. Crazy beeatches!! Hopefully I'll being getting Stage 2 after I drive to Wyoming this summer. Road trip baby!!!!
Learn to drive stick, it's much more fun!
