New tires on the LSC = pics

[5.0 bird]

I got new tires and the weather yesterday was excellent so I gave the Mark VII a nice bath and found a nice spot to take some pics. The tires are 235/60-16 Kumho Solus KR21s. They had good reviews on Tire Rack plus a 85,000 mile warranty, and they were 96.95 mounted and balanced so I decided to give them a try.

Thanks everybody.

I wanted to get the extra horsepower from the stickers without them being visible on the outside. :lol: Actually I got the idea from a friend who had them in that spot on his Camaro drag car.

I would recommend you give painting them a try. A different color like black really makes a big improvement in these turbines imo. They kind of have an 80's aftermarket wheel look. Which isn't surprising since they were made by GKN in Britain.

Yeah I plan on polishing the lip and having the centers PCed white to match the car.

[TWR2003]

V. nice!

Whats up with the GM Performance sticker on the door?

T

[5.0 bird]

What's up is that it's attached to my Hot Rod Power Tour 2008 sticker. That might explain why it's been running a little rougher lately. :fried: Me and my dad ran the first leg to Springfield along with 4 other Mark VIIs. GM was one of the big sponsors this year.

Nice car.

I think GM is a big sponsor every year.:p

That's why you never see anything else on the tv footage.....

These cars are really growing on me a lot.

is the 5 speed a swap? i've never seen a factory mark VII with a 5spd

[5.0 bird]

The 5 speed is a swap, unfortunately no Mark VIIs ever came from the factory with a manual. It's sad too because it's as easy to swap one as a Mustang. The place is already stamped in the firewall for the clutch cable and everything. The only hard part is making the console look stock.

There's a bunch of pics from the swap in the cardomain in my sig.

There were about 10 GTCs made by Cars & Concepts that had an optional Roush drivetrain package that included a 351W and a 5 speed.
