Default RE: What will be different? Concept VS. Production

I guess I am not the only one looking at going old school with rims and rubber. Just have to see how much room the roters allow for down sizing the rims. I am a fan of old G78/14's on front and 15" DOT rated Mickeys or DOT rated drag radial on rear. I mean look at pics of the SS and the tire set up compared to the consept. it looks a lot better to me with tires that have some sidewall, and smaller front rubber as he posted less drag. If you are a fan of 1/4 racing how offten do you see fat tires on the front ?[:-] but that also brings up a Q? If everyone loves racing around corners and want the cornering traction and fat tires then why o why is one of the first Q? asked "What does it do in 1/4?" . I personaly have never seen a round 1/4 mile track that wasn't dirt or for demo races. But thats just me lol
Smaller tires up front and a good sticky DOT drag radial on back I can see pulling some better times than they give for it and still be street leagel. Do to emmitions and warrenty I will be limited some what but this is one change I will be makeing seen as I won't be racing around corners but yet it will be my daily driver.
