It probably won't be until the end of January, but anyone want to guess what 35# of rotating weight (mostly off the back tires) will be worth in E.T.? I've read anything from 1.5 to 10x the static weight. My previous calculation show about 1# = .003 even in the 1/8th mile... I'm guessing the new wheel & tire combo will be worth .25.... could there be a high 14-sec run in the Turismo's future?
Sorry Mike, I focused solely on post #13 instead of #15 as well (which makes it more of a bummer for you too) . I hope that testing yields some very positive results for you and your Turismo!
