Oh my dear lord!

I was on maxima.org, and someone posted this. All I can say is... 24" f*cking rims??? GOOD GOD! I've never heard of anything over 22s!!!!

I'm sure the rims will be smaller in production, but they'll be at least 20s, garaunteed. Not to mention the 500 hp and 6 speed in a damn truck!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow... That's all I can say!

I bet you'd be singing a different tune if it was a production Protege with a 12.9 sec quarter mile. Scoff if you must, but that thing could eat your car while towing another car behind it!

deuce sixes

FYI FunkDaddySmack....I have seen pics of a Toyota Seqouia (sp?) with all the electronics money could buy and a set of 315/35/26's on one of the Honda posts. I'll try to find the pic and post it. They would look big on a dump truck!

26s??????? When will it stop!??!?!?!?????? hehehe.... I doubt those performance numbers were done with those 24"s on that truck, though... A 12.9 quarter mile with 24s? I don't know how likely that is.... But if it WERE true, just think what it would run with some lighter rims!

How do they keep this thing from just continuosly spinning out? There must some freaky traction control in that thing. Those wheels are rediculous! I've driven the Viper with 10hp less and it will break the huge meats on the back loose with a little tap on the accelerator. And that car has near perfect weight distribution. That truck has hardly any weight in the rear. Some jackass is going to kill himself in one of those trucks.
