So your My-Chron arrived in time to use it as well? Looks as if 1:18 lap times are reachable for you. What tires were you running?

One guy asked Stu if it was street legal haha. I almost started laughing, but I resisted. Curious as to what made it not look street legal.

Jason, can you update the nasioc version of this thread? Someone was asking around in the Novi thread if there is an east side meet, and the thread there is out of date.

No,..I meant using YOUR My-Chron. And thanks again for the loan. I haven;t founds one yet. Tried on Ebay,..but got out-bid.

I was on Bridgestone REO1R's last year. And I was turning 1:20.2 sec laps at Waterford on the occasional stopwatch. They have a treadwear of 140.

This year I'm on Nitto NT-01's. They have a 100 treadwear. And my best times with the occasional stopwatch is a 1:20.02 (Not sure what my best REO1R times were,..no My-Chron). So from what little info I have,..the Nittos are worth .2 of a sec per lap.

The Bridgestones were great in the wet at Grattan this spring. I doubt the Nittos would be,...especially in their current condition. I'll definately go back to the Bridgestones next time. I think they last twice as long as well.

The Nittos had tread on them when new, like in the pic below. The tread on the entire left hand portion is close to bald now though. Not sure how much longer they'll last. The grip isn't any better than the Bridgestones until it's hot out and you're killing them. Then they seem to get better than the Bridgestones. And while the Nitto sidewalls are really stiff vertically,..they flop about a bit side to side,..so it takes some getting used to. They seem to flop over and then take a set. It's a bit un-nerving at first.

Yeah,...I was like I hope so,..I drive it 15,000 miles in the 10 months a year I drive it, and it's got 87K on it.

I wonder what made it look not street legal? The full interior? The factory seat belts? The DVD player? The License plate?

I would say the tires that looked like slicks, and the two huge holes in the front of your car (brake cooling ducts). And you were going rather fast.

Woops! I previously updated the "When" part to reference this thread, but forgot you guys changed the location. Updated (thanks).
