So we know engine power isn't a problem, just need to figure out how to handle the traction issues...

Stock Corolla S Wheels are 15x6" 195/65R15.

Hoosier A6 :
225/45ZR15

That should take care of traction issues!

Eh - I've done a ride along back at WTD05' with Poindexter... never again!

Plus you and I both know, the Dragon isn't nearly as much fun without a toy to drive!
It's even less fun when you DON'T F'ING GO!
