    Untrue. The mod that matters most is the driver

    Although, those tires probably do help a good bit. Just wait, one day when you're near D.C. I'm going to show you how a rookie gets it done, with a very similar looking truck ( ) hahaha...I've never actually done any auto-x although I'd LOVE to...waiting for that TKO swap first, and an x-brace (that's going to be tough for me unless I can send some funds to HipoTek).

    You'll LOVE those 03/04 brakes. Really, they're about to blow your mind. Mine were so good they locked up on accident (I don't have front ABS). Very worthwhile mod. Don't you have monoleafs in the rear, or didn't you at one point? Or was that the previous owner of your truck (it was sold fairly recently, wasn't it?) Also, which QA1's are they? Have a part number?

    You guys all missed the Grady era over on Delphi. He had tons of stories like this. I think he frustrated quite a few porsches on road courses.

    I used to race with Autocrossers Inc a lot two years ago. You missed it. I kept beating up on this WRX in my class. I'm sure it drove him nuts.

    I hate the brakes on my 03, I have the same setup as the 00 and the 00 will way out brake the 03. Of course the 00 is alot lighter. Yes there were monoleafs on it for a short time, it had terrible wheelhop with them on there so Jason took them off. I've own the truck for around 2 years now.

    A buddy of mine from school races a red IROC style camaro in several different divisions here in VA...including Autocrossers Inc. for a while...he's more into 'drifting' and has several videos on youtube. He's pretty ridiculous, I wish I would have come out. One day...I definitely will. Hopefully in about 2 years
