Thanks, I appreciate that.
Here I am at Mikes and you will see I need some practice:

But it's more me needing to upgrade my charger as well as my radio first. (hyperion dual with large power supply and upgrading my 3PM to a 4PKS) That's a grand right there and my monthly budget is only between $300 and $600 per month, so I need a little time.
I'll certainly be picking your brains though.
And I am sure that I will be itching to get out there once I see a bunch of other GT's.

I'm sold on the tires. At the track today it was clearly obvious that I was faster with them. For one I could finally hit WOT on the straight. I could accomplish this because I could brake much later as well as carry much more speed through the corner at the end of the straight.
NICE!! Like a whole new car.

Tread vs. slick?
I understand if the track is dirty tires with tread could be better, but what about a purpose built track that is sprayed? Can anyone think of a reason that a treaded tire would be better? I have always used slick, but I have always wondered....

On a prepped track you will want the slicks. They are great on VHT.

There may be a time you need to loosen up the car a bit, or take away some steering. Tires are the best way to do this if your car feels good overall, much better than mucking with the setup.
