Let me know when you find the answer to that one because I'm struggling to get sub 2 second 60 foot times with mine! If you're running a four speed like I am, you likely have more trouble getting it to hook compared to a similar auto trans. car. I'm sure everyone lowers the air pressure to well below 30 psi, some more than others. I will tell you that my Polyglas GT's have better traction than the wider BFG Radial TA's that I've had on the back.
As far as I know, a G70 has the same sidewall height whether it's a 14 or 15 inch wheel.
Yea i had a 12 second v8/5 speed dakota and had to find the right balance of bog and launch when i ran a set of McCreary dirt bozz tires. I know autos are much easier to launch and more consistent, but sticks are just plain fun.
I thought overall height of the g70 would be the same with the 14"'s havin a inch more sidewall but looks like 14's come in at 26-26.99" and the 15's come in at 27-27.5", so like you say about the same sidewall. I guess i'll just focus on suspension and LOTS of practice on the back roads here. My year torino is set up more like a gm a body then the previous unibody cars, so I try to see what the a body guys do in the rear suspension area (poly bushins in the rear to help stiffen things up to avoid wheel hop?). I assume a lot of guys tweak the suspension for maximum upward lift in the front buy custom fittin the control arm bushins for the loose side of "fit" and greasin them etc, run the sway bar loose and runnin cheap or fairly well used but still pass tech shocks? Just tryin to find all the info i can so when i finally start to swap things over i can plan accordingly. any input is much appreciated.
