I'd go with the Toyo's Martin. There would be zero advantage to running the R6's.

I was able to run 196.2MPH in my LSx RX7. I was trying to get 200 but I might need more power. I was happy with my results for NA power.

Thats just ridiculous!!! Congrats to Joe and EVOMS for advancing the ball yet again.

Separately, congrats and mad respect to EVERYONE who showed up and had the ***** to run their cars and obtain objective data. You guys are all studs in my book!!!

As to the nameless loud mouth who challenged the world, then ran a whooping 50mph, then lost to a Lexus, then lost to a late model whipple Mustang, you have been exposed yet again!!!

Most Dr's would be unstable at those sustained high speeds, the Hoosier R6's are a good high speed tire, I was running the Hoosier 310/710R18 with the R100 compound, basically a road racing tire that looks like a slick.

Jonah ran DR's on his Gallardo & said it was nuts: walking all over the place near 220mph: screw that.

Quick question, what is a compound turbo? Do they mean it has two turbos or is it a hybrid of some sort?

Compound: one smaller turbo feeding a larger one, almost like a sequential system.
