That thing has a 454 right? I dont see any tire smoke in any of those pics!

 

ooo trust me, itll lay some strips no problem. just tires are too expensive these days. (i know i sound like a cheapo) but ive learned my lesson to start saving my money now... :lolsmack:

You don't know expensive until you buy aftermarket corvette sized tires.:eek:

ya think VRT will bring them back to life again?

 

Yup, put a coat on then wait a couple of hours and put a second coat on, if needed, some times really dried out tires will just soak up that first coat :rockon::rockon::rockon:
