Your profile says that your '06 S197 was modded. What mods did you do?

My Griggs GR40 mods resulted in pretty stunning handling. They also removed over 300 pounds (much of it due to replacing the K-member with a tubular front frame) and lowered the ride height about 1.5 inches.
 
The Griggs suspension setup is impressive voodoo magic! Recall reading about their Old Blue fox body, amazing car.

My mods were only JLT intake, PA Performance alternator, OEM HIDs from the '09s, and 255/50R17 Nitto Invos on stock Bullitts. Was getting ready to start modding my suspension, but son arrived which eventually led to me having to get rid of my S197.

I manged to squeeze BF Goodrich G-Force T/A 285/40ZR18's on mine. The track GR40s used Toyo 305s with special wheels, but at that point, I didn't want to spend any more money!

Squeezing cars between family and (now, for me at 68 years) retirement is a challenge. Don't leave it too late!
