Only AWD Suby I really drove ( had it for a weekend ) belonged to an old I-Clubber who sold it. GT35R, coils, 330-something whp, and a **** ton of other mods, doesnt exactly compare to a mostly stock A4 1.8t with 170 crank hp

No RE92's for me. If I wreck, it's not gonna be blamed on tires.....

Are you telling me that AWD doesn't make you a god in the rain?!? Paul???


btw...every so often a WRX/STi will wreck here on Okinawa...just gotta wait for it to rain or until some dumbass decides its awesome to togue through the streets like a jackass. That's how I get me parts...but I always have to keep my ear low to the ground to know when it's time to vulture down on a car

OH! OH! OH! I have RE92's


I better not wreck my car... although I did wreck my old suby 2 years ago today because the road was pretty wet. Can't remember what tires I had though
