That's about what my Pilot Sport AS were, exlcuding the wheels. I'm guess I'm just a bit jaded when it comes to tire prices. I mean, if a set of $700-750 tires last a halfa season why should I pay $850 for damned good tires that last 30-40k miles?

I guess the cost difference isnt big since you'll use < 15 gallons a weekend, but I tried 103 octane, ran a shitload of timing, and didnt think it was any faster.
Compression? :wink:
It's not worth the savings to get 100+ before you head to the track... not that I'm the one who'd be doing it.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
