Ahahaha "sound" is probably all I can do at this point...I have not raced in over a year while my car underwent a TON of changes (and the tires are actually not even mine). So, this means I have not been able to give it a good shakedown and Sunday going to be more of a test and tune day for me than anything else Just watch, I will be THE slowest car in the WHOLE line up, Street Mod or not

Just look for an '06 WRX with IL plates if you wanna check out each other's suspension stuff like we be discussing.

So which, if any classes, allows for Hoosiers? I might put on a different set of rims on my car, but it has a temporary set of wet traction Hoosiers (which I need to return to the original rim owner after I mount my own rubber).

I raced on s***ty Ziex-512's through my first season. Tires won't really matter if you can't drive in the first place.

Yup as Edison said ESP or SM for you if you're gonna be on Hoosier wets. Depends what you've done to your car of course
