always

these r888rs are at the wearbars but even new it will obliterate them from a dig
Wrong tires for drag racing anyway. The R888r need to be above 180F to grip and they typically take a lap or two on track to heat up. They need a lot of camber since the casing is designed for it. Drag racing street tires tend to like 0 camber or positive camber, and they have far more longitudinal traction.

If you do want to stick some street drag radials on it, I have a pair of 17x9 wheels you're welcome to have 😉. Lug bolts and all. Just come get them out of my attic 😂

Yep I'm pretty sure it is. Last I saw they were asking 19k for it. Whoever gets it will get quite a few good parts along with it. I do miss that car, honestly. The its is fine, but it doesn't quite feel as special. It's funny, I've considered going and buying it back. 🙃
