cool pics Mich !!
w
hat did it feel like with those 20" Startech rims ?
in the US i've read it spoils the handling

[Phoenix Viper]

Spoil the handling on the 20" rims don't know about that but I would be well chuffed with a set for my own motor let me tell you and rotors cailpers and suspension to go with it, also the dry sump system would be nice but the best thing is the nut behind the wheel he was just fantastic.

And I know that I may be preaching to the converted but all I can say is you just have to do it yourself to apreciate just how good it is 1.5 to 2 miles around a track with nice run off areas and equally skilled drivers is one thing but a Banzai lap on a 15 mile road track with little or no run off's mixing it with a bunch of mental tourists is quite another.






I have to say that my own lap's were very much more sedate that the one in the Zakspeed but just as scary.

Here is Mich on one of his far from sedate laps... he's being unfair on his performance as he kept getting held up by some numptie in an impreza right in front of him



The picture shows the exit from Brunchen (one of my favourite bends ), towards the end of the lap.

did he stop 3/4 of the way round to pull the cling film off?

a set went through ebay twice, literally just weeks ago !
the fill the wheel arch quite nicely

20" Startechs with part worn pzeros fitted, they were in the UK and did actually exist, they were off the Chrysler UK press car
they sold for £1000 all in to someone on this forum

the tyres are hard to get and are really expensive too £800 each ! and the wheels were £6000 when new

When Zakspeeds number one car suffered a fuel pump failure I did offer to let them use mine in exchange for all the suspension brakes and wheels transfered to mine, sorry to say they did not take me up on the deal.
