alrighty... i got 18 inch wheels and some low profile tires on her but what i am asking is when i "try to race" ill dump the clutch and my car will revv up but it takes time to go anywhere not a lot but still you can deffinatly feel it. like the engine has to push a lot harder to ge the car going and i loose almost every race now anyways... i dont even bother racing anymore

But on low profile tires, you have less tire, even tho its a lil bigger.
Its called inertia...theres more to spin so it takes more power. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Oct 3, 2003 - 6:11 PM -------------------- |
