My Trans Am, A Tank & Some 315's
Nothing amazing, just two shots from this past week:
Outside of Conowingo, MD:
In West Chester, PA - showin' off my 315/35/R17 Nitto's - car is dirty as hell btw at this point:
Also, my new Centric/Powerslot/StopTech slotted rotors & pads should be here within 2-3 weeks (backorder). Can't wait.

Thank you guys, just ordered some dual duals too 
Band: I was having the same issue. Sumitomo which I ran prior and were very EHHH, or pay some money for something decent. I got these for $392, then only $15/tire for mounting and balancing. They grip like no [street] tires I've run and ride real nice! From posts on other f-body forums, guys have 20, 30, 40k miles on 'em still with good tread, driving aggressively - including track use.

what did you have to do to get those to not rub. i still loose traction with my 295's and if someone sits in the back under accel she squats and just rubs mine.

No rubbing issues except at sharp corners under heavy load and some highway bumpers. I am rolling the fenders tomorrow:

Thanks! It's stock height from what I am aware of. Purchased it back in May of last year (traded in my E36 M3 on it). Had the Flowcrapper exhaust installed, as well as the racing stripes and K&N intake. I assume it's stock height as well - shocks/springs look OE:
Fairly recent shot (last fall) so you can see it at a 1/4 angle:

It was a slow turd! lol. The main reason I sold it is 'cause it wasn't fast enough. Damn thing could outcorner anything in the twisties though. I do miss that aspect a little bit. Now if I had an E36 M3 with an LS swap, mmm, I'd be a happy person

I wouldn't want it cause it's fast. They are comfortable. "quick" . Good looking. And it's a bimmer!
I also have a but of a soft spot on them. One of the first fun sports cars I ever drove.

I'll give it that: Very comfy and such a blast to drive on the twisties. I just "need" a fast car I get bored otherwise
