Well in one night of drag racing I spend about 2 minutes @ WOT. Saying that is more harsh than laps around a track is kind of proposterous, don't you think? I'm not baiting, I'm just looking at it realistically.

clutch drops = transmission abuse...

but at the track youre running the car at high rpms....

give and take, both put more than the usual wear and tear on the car...

ANYWAYS,

I just got replacement Falken 912's. They're AWESOME... for 5,000 miles. Then they're garbage. Still can't complain considering the price. New wheels and tires next year probably. Mission now is to button this car up and get me a Subie for the winter. I REALLY like that 2002ish Legacy Limited! I miss leather and wood grain more than I'd like to admit.

I posted my time, but didn't scan in a time slip. I figured a 16.7 wasn't anything to be impressed by...though it is 0.6 seconds better than stock and it was my first time.

Stock speed for the auto is 17.8, not sure about the manual but it wasn't a ton better.
