No, the SL65 will eat the stradale for lunch. That is not what I was referring to.

I put new Bridgestone RE960 A/S in the rear. I am actually looking to get rid of them since I have been running around most of the time with my stock 19"s. Let me know if he is interested.

Its a z06 chopped with a custom made widebody setup. Running a 454ci small block under the hood with a 150 shot nitrous if needed . Its not my C3, its a shop that I took a pic at. Just came back from getting the lights blacked out.
