Yep. those things are heavy. Just switching from 20s to 17s made me go from constant low 14s to low 13s.

rotational mass is a buzz kill.

I saw this on Mustang forums. Good lord are there some GTO Kool-Aid drinkers in their street & strip section.

Last time I checked that post was neck deep in excuses and bruised GTO owner ego's.

Nice videos!

Unsprung mass is much more detrimental than lead in the trunk. 100 lbs on the wheels is akin to about 600 on the car plus the added effect of a taller gear ratio. The guys in the SRT 10 truks can drop a full second off their 1/4 times just by ditching the 22's and tailgate.
