Looking for the original owner of my 2009 ACR

[Badsnek]

I’m trying to find the original owner of my 2009 GTS Blue ACR. Last three of the vin is 667. It was a Canadian car. Any help is appreciated.

Have you run a CARFAX to get the general history of past locations?

Yes I have. There’s the gentleman I bought the car from. Then there was a Dealership in Washington state. Previous to them it was a Canadian car. I actually even have the name of the Dealer it was ordered from.

Just curious, what size are your front tires in that photo?

I'd guess 305s or 315s...definitely beefy.

Either is pretty crazy on a 10 inch wheel. They look pinched and too tall.

Not so crazy. I was running 315-17's at the track on my 93 RT back in 1995.

Oh, I get that people run those kind of sizes, but they're most likely outside the manufacturer's acceptable range and will be pinched, especially on a 10 inch wheel (even the stock G4 ACR's 295/30-18 is at the top of the range for a 10" wheel and is slightly pinched)......not to mention how much those bigger sizes raise the front end and potentially screw with the car's aero if you don't compensate for it by adjusting the suspension/rake, which looks apparent in the photo.

They weren't optimal, but they stuck great. Later, I learned what pressures and alignments they worked best with.

Yeah, I tried 315/30 Toyo R888s on the 18x11 OZ Racing wheels I put on my Gen 2 GTS and they poked out too much visually, so I went with 295s....definitely could have use a little more front grip on that car.

If I remember correctly they are 305’s. They have to get replaced. Original owner did them circa 2015/2016 and the previous owner I bought the car from never did tires.

I hate how high it has made the front end. The corner of my splitter had damage when I bought the car so I had Mark Taylor in Georgia repair it for me. It’ll be going back on in the spring with some fresh 295’s up front.

Nice!....btw, love the color combo. Looks great.

Thank you! I’ve definitely fallen in love with it myself.
