It is pretty good in the wet without a welded diff. His beaten up one has a welded diff and he uses that on the track mostly.

Can't really do it in the dry because of limited space/power, so you have to be 'comitted' and a simple mistake can wreck the car.

They are Superlites, 7x13 I think (maybe 7/14).

I love the slammed on mini-lights look, thats one of the best looking 300's i've seen, well done mate. could you give me a bit more info on the way you tweaked the rear leaf springs to get it this low? I have fitted a 440 turbo motor in mine, the engine is pretty much stock internaly, with a larger turbo custom manifolds and aftermarket engine management. I now know how to mod the standard management as well. Apart from the manifold modification (which is very neccessary) you could do the swap in a weekend. mine makes just over 200 bhp and 225 lbs/ft torque, both dyno proven and runs low 14 second quarters at the moment with stock suspension! have a look at my web page for more info
