Considering the trend of ZR-1 owners not being able to keep their cars in their lane, I’d say it’s not the best idea.

this place is called the country drive in’s.

anyone that has been here to eat, knows its not a good place to be doing this. There is 50+ tables, full of familys literally 10 yards from the road. The line of people waiting and ordering the food, literally goes out to the road…

Does it not seem like the clutch is slipping and the tires are noticeably bogging the car down? It’s hard to tell from the 60p video camera that the chode chomper was filming with.

your not going to get much traction with a 25 series street tire on a 700rwhp car.

Yeah, the one off Rt. 9 right? Nice fish in your avatar btw, I managed to hook a 14" largemouth from my kayak on Fish Creek Friday evening. The original Rapala floating lure strikes again.

Word. Either way, those wheels SUCK. Polished or hell even painted factory ZR1 wheels are THE only wheels that should be on that car. End of story.

I don’t know why anyone eats there anyhow, the food is second rate even for fried food and the ice cream is subpar.

Couldn’t agree more, those wheels make the car look cheesy and gay.
