I'm running 325/19's on the rear of my car and would like to lower it 1/2" to 3/4", but I'm concerned that the tires will rub. Anyone lowered their car with that wheel/tire combination?
I couldn't agree more. :like: Those were amazing times to those of us who were fortunate enough to live through them. I'm guessing in 50+ years some of the youngins on this forum will be saying the same thing about today's cars.
I'm running 325/19's on the rear of my car. I'd like to lower it about 3/4" or so, but I'm concerned that my tires might rub. Anyone running 325's that has lowered their car? If so, any issues?
I replaced the wheels and tires on my GT right away. I went with gloss black 6GR Project 10-spoke wheels. They have a couple of pictures of my car on their website. Not sure how to post pictures here. 🤪 I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. :like:
:like: I've tried all kinds of glass cleaning products over the years and always go back to water. I lightly dampen a very soft microfiber towel and use it on my screen and dash display.
I agree. Most of the stock muscle cars back then probably ran in the 14's or high 13's at best. Some were slower than that. A car that ran in the 13's back in the day was considered pretty fast.
I ran 12.80's with my '70 SS 396 (375 hp) Nova with slicks, headers, and a couple of other little tweaks. There were a number of modified cars in our area back then that were faster than that. I think the fastest car I ever ran on the street was a modified '69 L88 Camaro. It beat me by about 10...
I'm with you. I had a carbon fiber front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser and several other pieces on my C7 Z06's and never even had as much as rock chip. Granted, I only put about 1,000 miles a year on them and was very careful where I drove them. You just cant beat the look of carbon fiber.
Personally, I love my Vapor Blue. My last 3 Corvettes were white with a red interior. Got tired of the white and decided to go try something different with the Mustang. When I ordered it, my wife didn't like the color and thought it was ugly. When we picked it up at the dealer the first thing...
Yes, those were the days. 😉 The muscle cars of the 60's and early 70's were slow and archaic compared to today's standards. If you had a car that ran in the mid to upper 12's, you were pretty much king of the street. We live in an amazing time when it comes to performance cars. As I grow old...
:like: The first car I ever ordered was a '69 Plymouth Roadrunner when I got out of the Marine Corps in March of 1969. Paid $3,000 out the door. It was a 383 with a TorqueFlite transmission. I've ordered a bunch of new cars since then.
I couldn't agree more. We've all done things when buying cars that we regret. Chalk it up to one of life's lessons and move on. Don't beat yourself up. At the age of 75, I still amaze myself at how stupid I can sometimes be.
