and not po'ing the wife. What do I need to do to a stock base GT.

 

Nitto street n strip tires and eventually some upgraded suspension depending on your budget but a stock gt with nitto and it will hook like a mo fo.

 

TY and even on the 18 inch rims? Am seeking education and justifying my choice not to get Brebo's.

 

you need bigger meats.. like 285 big

 

yep better wider tires and better weight transfer. You want the front end to come up and the rear to squat a bit

 

What he said, the stickier tire the better but bear in mind sticky isn't ideal in cold weather which is why people run all seasons in the folder months (depending on your locale) and stickier/road slicks in the summer. When looking for beefier suspension; UCA, LCA's, anti-roll kit sways, and adj. struts and shocks go a long way. Lowering the car with C&C plates helps with cornering.

Are you looking for straight line use, cornering, or both?

 

A superior lower control arm? BMR and Steeda I believe are 2 of the better choices.

 

Tint the windows. That may reduce po'ing the wife while you're out hooking up.

 

 

rofl!

 

You want to hook up?

Get slicks.

And start saving up for a new driveshaft.
