[QUOTE="blackvette101, post: 13587838, member: 130072"] if your 100% set on street tires I would say get adjustable upper and lower control arms and test/tune it to get better traction. I'd also relocate your battery to the trunk (better battery life anyway). You can also lower the gear ratio. You can drop the tire psi to around 28 psi cold. Honestly hooking 600 rwhp on an all season tires will not be easy. Not sure how much snow your area gets but if it's not a whole lot you probably need to switch to summer tires. The michelin super sport in 295/35/19 should hook your power level from a roll especially if you do some of the above traction mods. I believe the C7 along with the majority of fast cars on street tires are all on summer tires. If your shelby has to be driven in snow have you thought about a winter wheel/tire package? In the for sale forum there is a set of 19'' pilot super sports and a seperate set of winter wheels/tires. In a non-widebody vette they can usually hook a 2nd gear on non-runflat summer tires up to about 450 rwhp. The widebody can hook up considerably more. [/QUOTE]
