WTF are you doing even bothering to bring a stock or slightly modified ex to the track for anyway. i mean come on. You gotta realize how pointless that is. i mean unless your trying to set a baseline.

Also with the wheels YES THEY ARE SLOWING YOUR A$$ DOWN. there is no way your 17's are 5-10lbs heavier than your stock wheels. I'm sure it's more like 15-20 and that is HUGE even at 10lbs thats a big difference. and as far as your tire pressure WTF are you running 38psi normally 32 is really as high as you should go. and on the track more like 20 (of course with 17" bling blings you might dent them.) PUT YOUR STOCK WHEELS ON AT THE TRACK. Also even if the 17's are only 5lbs heavier (no way) the heaviest part of the rim is 1.5" further away from the center of your hub which requires MUCH MORE WORK TO SPIN.

You took you 93 EX to the track, why shouldn't he? What's with the attitude? People go to have fun. And 17's can actually be lighter than stock. There's a couple comapnies that make very light 17's, OZ being one of them.
Yes it takes more to rotate a 17" wheel. I don't really plan on putting my stocks on to goto the track. Why? Because that's not how it is on the street. Its like going to the track and taking out your back seats, spare tire, etc. Its not realistic unless that stuff is always out of the car.
