stretched tires for the stance crowd yo

and why are they using a taller tire? Why not the same size?

too bad there's no jacking point in the middle so you can jack up both front wheels at the same time like Toyota has

They are swapping 1LE and Z/28 wheels and tires. Read the article.

Despite this being Motor Trend, I enjoyed this.

Heh, this is something I've wondered myself. Good read, thanks for the link!

Yeah, I was searching for Z/28 stuff(when am I not) and saw this and seemed like a good MT article so that alone makes it share worthy.

You know, the 1LE put down some impressive numbers all by itself. It's not a Z/28, but damn if it isn't actually so close that the driver can make up the difference.

It's a very good car but it would take a very good driver in a 1LE and a really shitty one in the Z/28 to make that difference. With some stickier tires and a little power bump though I could see it getting closer pretty easy though. A full exhaust, a tune, and some Hoosiers.

That or Senna in a stock 1LE and anyone else in a Z/28. Especially since the Z/28 appears to be a rain magnet.
