My friend's ZHZ auto is an absolute dream. Who knew, coming from an American car.
After driving it, and getting in my wife's '10 Mazda 3, I suddenly realized the 3 felt like there was a really slow, old man operating a 5-speed transmission inside of her automatic. Where as the corvette felt like Emilio operating his twin disc with zero *****. You hit that pedal and it just goes. 3 would rev to a couple thousand rpms, then go. Slower.

2 things will likely happen:
-I find someone that wants these swagtastic wheels in trade for perfect z06 wheels with perfect tires
-I plastidip these wheels black
The tires are near new, and they are Nitto NT555, and I dunno when was the last time y'all bought 305/20 nittos, but they are not cheap lol.

As long as they glow in the dark, works for me ![Party Kitty](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/birthday[1].gif)
This thing is nuts btw, spins at will in 1st, and sometimes even in 2nd, and also when shifting fast into 3rd. I basically never turn off the traction control on it.
Anyways, I had the hardtop window seal re-installed after paint on the MSM. Was going to wire in the new headunit and install the wideband/boost gauge today but got all lazy and didn't lol.

kept stock exhaust on for now.
I gotta say: I LOVE HOW IT SOUNDS NOW.
I am seriously considering not even installing a full exhaust now. This is perfect for daily driving. It's much louder than stock, yet really deep and really subtle.
Love it.
Once the MS3-Pro and ID725's and e85 goes in and is tuned, I think this car will be 100% done, I have absolutely no desire to do anything else, it is simply perfect for daily driving.
