A piece sent from the Gods
Chip foose is by far one of the most talented individuals in the automotive customizing world. His style and tastes are much like mine and he is one of my biggest influences when it comes to customizing. This is his new 1970 Chevy Camaro.
Burn Out
So, tonight when I came home from work, I backed into my driveway and the pavement was very wet. When I gave it a little gas a loud hissing noise sounded as a cloud of smoke arose from beneath my car! I kinda got a little hung up on the 6 in. raised drive way and just boiled my new Kumho's for about 8 sec. It was actually pretty damn fun!

My 1998 Grand Prix SE 3100 3.1L SFI V-6 Sedan
This is a picture I took at the Logan Martin Dam in Pell City, AL. This is before the new Kumho 711's and the flowmaster exhaust system. This two chamber design incorporates Flowmasters patented "Delta Flow" technology. The "Delta" deflectors result in increased scavenging for better performance and reduced interior resonance over the standard 40 series with a nice growl outside the vehicle. Sounds great on late model performance cars with catalytic converters. Constructed of 16 gauge aluminized steel and fully mig-welded for maximum durability.
This is my custom exhaust system. This car came standard with a single exhaust but, me being the car freak that I am, I had to put a few extra horses under the hood so I fixed her up with a little dual class 40 series flowmaster action and stainless steel, Ractive exhaust tips. I doesn't sound like a 5.0 mustang, but that mellow agressive tone sounds nice!
These are my new tires! They are Kumho Ecsta 711's. These are an H rated, high performance tire and are rated AA in traction. I used to have Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's which were a Z rated tire but they went bald at about 25,000 miles. They were great tires but they just won't out last these new babies. I also went a bit wider than last time for some extra stability, cornering, and fine tunned handling! They have truly changed the performance of my car. Today I was on my way to class and 4 deer ran out infront of my car. I was crusin' at about 65 mph and came to a dead stop with in seconds. The best part about the situation is that it was raining like hell! There is my attestment to the Kumho Ecsta 711's.
Here is my car the week that I bought it.
