Does anybody here actually understand what he is saying? I am having a real hard time sifting through the poor grammar, lack of punctuation and spelling errors. It just makes the claims even harder to believe.

Has anyone ever even seen a 205/35-18???? I only know of ONE tire that is even available in that size, yes ONE! And its noticeably shorter than a stock 195/60-15.
Why would you buy 18's and then put an almost impossible to find, significantly SMALLER tire on?

So now we accept not only ricer math, but ricer logic?

This video of a car that is not mine, is pretty fast. This car has less mods than me. Its known that cars of my model year are faster stock than this car was stock, I have more mods than this car. Ipso facto, my car is faster.

I wouldnt say I was "bashing" I said your unbacked up claims are hard to believe and your posts make it even harder.

if you dont believe me then come down and i will race you and show u
Yeah Ill get right on that, let me drive right out to Nebraska. To race you from a 20 roll.

i am not saying my car is fast like i said in the begging i hang with mid high 14 cars from a roll not a stop
So now your car isnt fast?

my wheels dont like stop racing
Sincere question, are you American/is english your first language?

Grab the top of the boot, just underneath the shift knob, twist it til it unlocks and push it down off of knob. Pull knob striaght up.

seems like someone that builds drag cars could figure that out

exactly..why would someone wanna drive that far to 20 roll race you..when all they NEED is for you to take your car to a stinkin track and get a 1/4 slip...post it...then debate ended.

and whats up with the 215- 18s still? i use 225 on my 17s...why put a thinner tire on a larger wheel? makes no sense...thats another thing i would think a drag car builder would know..HIS TIRES

I speculated as much, but the whole Omaha location through me. And you know how sometimes you can tell what someones native tongue is by how the type in English? I couldnt tell.
