    Re: I have a dream...

    Probably a good start would be to not shoot yourself in the foot by opting for a tyre and wheel combination which puts over 300mm of modern rubber on the road at the back.
    This why I like the idea of Craig's wheels so much. You can choose a rim and tyre width.
    My theory is yet to be tested though......
    For my money a 2.5 V6 is plenty power enough provided the car is set up properly.

    Instinctively that was my thought too, it would be all too easy to over tyre the rear. I'm very open to using alternative wheel diameters and widths, and frankly anything which gives me a well sorted car which is rewarding to drive, reliable and easy to live with. To me that's more important than originality.
