no mercy

It has significantly better wet traction and also better dry traction. The tread pattern is pretty crazy but I think its refreshing to change it.

I thought about posting the review here last month when I saw it but I figured no one cared but me.... :-/

[slideways2004]

damn last month!!! i didn't even know know they were reviewed yet. that's what full-time school and work does to ya= no time. don't be sad, you're not the only one that cares about the new tires

[Dorian]

lookin forward to next season
Fuck yes.

[andrave]

awesome, is gitten gonna get one of those?
mustang seems more his style, if he does.

[captobvious]

gitten is driving the stang, calvin wan in the g35, chris forsburg in the s15 and they're still working on tony angelo and the other guy from drift alliance's car (can't think of his name at the moment) all of drift alliance will be sponosor by falken this season

[Hames]

i like them but why is the mustang the only one with a wing? i wonder what kind of power mods the mustang has.
project mu brakes on the g35 :leghump:

alex pfiffer?? ( i have no idea how to spell it)

[andrave]

its like pfiefer, or something. Anyway I'd be surprised if he would drive anything other than his beloved AE86.

[TIREKILLER]

"the other guy" from drift Aliance is Ryan Hampton!

And Pfeiffer drives the RS*R S2000,very well i might add!

Tony Angelo the head of D/A is getting a FD3S.

Ryan Hampton is getting a S13.

I don't think their cars were ready...

Alex Pfeiffer is no longer part of the Drift Alliance... Drift Axis maybe?

[slideways2004]

i think Alex P. is driving some kind of chevy. i'm not sure though

[onezfast1]

when do they bring the new cars out??????

[slideways2004]

i think next season. i doubt they bring these cars out for the d1 us vs. jp. what i'm thinking is they won't be used to driving these new cars so it won't be competitive. but you never know, they could bust out the new cars at d1. they're probably practicing for it right now in their new cars.

[slideways2004]

tony angelos car is close to done.

drift alliance is the same minus alex. alex is still kinda up in the air as to what hell be driving.


as to why the tires are covered they unveiled them after tuesday, the pics were taken at sema before tehn. why they used those pics on thier site i dont know.

[Formula_Drift]

Alex is forming a team with Andy Yen, Dai, and Ken Gushi

[Riceracer]

a mustang....wtf??!?! hahahahAa

[SJTrance]

The mustang should be a great addition to the team. Why not a mustang? It's a great platform; RWD, strong V8 responding well to modification, readily available cars, great aftermarket following, relatively cheap to purchase, and it finally looks good. This is the only Mustang model I've ever liked since the classics. The platform is new and not recycled as in the previous models. Take it however you want, but the current model Mustang is going to be a serious contender in motorsports of all forms.

[slideways2004]

so who's falken s13 is that? maybe Koguchi's b/c i do see the koguchi hood:thumb:

pfieffer will be driving a Z06 and i think Ryan Hampton is gonna keep the RX8

[OneArmedScissor]

pfieffer will be driving a Z06 and i think Ryan Hampton is gonna keep the RX8

what kind of power does the rx8 need to put down to be a competitive platform?

i know the suspension on that car is superb from my reading and seat time in one.

Maybe I should hop on over to Mazda and use that coupon for a free test again..I have several of them :)

team daikendylex?

Wonder who the poor sap is who gets to drive the mustang,lol
You'd think that bringing a brand new car into the game with little support would be avoided considering the problems that Rhys Millen had with his car.
Wonder if Ford is having something to do with this, or if it was just selection.

Have you guys seen the New Falken Azenis?
