I know my best track times were not power breaking and using the auto stick... Make sure traction control is off too...

export models will spin the wheels taking off.... I am hoping to get some real sized wheels soon.... need too.. tires are worn off :)

you may need to purchase some wider wheels. the stock run flats arent great tires either.

My best 1/4 mile 13.213 @ 103mph was
A/C off... TC off
AutoStick [1]

You will spin all four wheels when wet... Quite fun too :eek:

i love the BFG kdw series tires. Ive put them on many vehicles including my cts-v... i like them better than the much much more $$$$$ pilot sports.
they are super sticky and quiet.

You''ll want to be careful about what tires you put on them... if your using the stock export wheels those are actually narrower than the fronts in the states... 8" versus 9" and 10" for the rears. Still haven't had any advice yet as to what sizes will fit the narrower wheels. No-body here carries the Pirelli PZeros that came stock.....

I wouldn't put anything wider than a 275 on an 8" wheel.
