305 micky Thompson dr's on 20" rims hook pretty darn well even when it is 40deg out. they are good from mid 2nd gear up at 700+hp.

I am a high speed, late night highway pull and 1/2 mile or roll race guy. Those just don't have the stability at high speeds I want. Nor the handling the the 1LE is known for. We shall see what the R888R tires can do in cooler temps. They were awesome in my C5 FRC but as you stated that was would 750whp. But on the old R888 I never had tire spin at all. They hooked and went, fingers crossed

Swagger, would you trade "down" from a new SS to a 00 C5 FRC? I found one with low mileage for a little more than half what I paid for my SS. And I got a crazy deal on my car. Then again, these cars drive and handle unbelievable, so I'm betting that's a no.

I came out of 99 FRC... Motor by MCP (347/317heads/cam etc) ECS Novi 1500SL (15psi and no restrictor) tuned by Roshan Patel. Made 675whp on a Mustang Dyno. I miss that car horribly.

That being said they are VERY different cars. My car had C6Z brakes and Pfadt Featherlights with their adjustable sways. Its the best handling car I had ever owned until this 1LE which is just as good stock suspension wise out of the box. For my money I would do another FRC for sure... Flared, 408 stroker LS2 block with 317 heads, cam and boost. Thats a seriously fast car

I may go look at it Saturday. Sucks it's about an hour and a half away. The other struggle I have is finding cool wheels that aren't reps and not HRE money.

Swagger, we are cut from the same cloth and I agree with you 100% on your response about the DR's. How did the R888R's work out for you, and how much power are you putting down now with them on? Thanks for your help...I'm in the market for tires. They'll be mounted on 20x10, 20x11 Forgeline VX1's.

I am very happy with the R888R... I have had limited seat time with the car, however I was impressed with the traction I had with her on a upper 20 degree day. I cant wait to play with the tires in warmer weather. For my personal driving habits a DR doesnt work at all. I get it for the quarter mile and dig run crowd. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them to anyone

Thanks for the feedback - I completely get it. I've had my fun launching, etc. last year but that's not what I originally got the car for. How much power are you putting down? I thought this was your car that this thread was about, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks again for your input.

It is my car in the thread and the 906whp is accurate... E55 and 11.4psi of boost, seems that we may have maxed out the blower however. I need an F1A 94 to make 1000whp and at this point I have no plans to swap up.

Nice, congrats on the car. You must be itching to get it on the road. I was in the same boat last year at this time and my excitement got the better of me....or, I should say tri-state area spring time potholes lol.

Yessir... Car is bonkers, sounds amazing and feels great. RPM/LME/Procharger is one hell of a combo brother.
