That's the point of drag radials. They're drag tires that are street legal. They wont last as long as street tires, but they'll hook. images/smilies/cool.gif

amen to that. im not going to start doing serious engine work until i figure out what this rattle is coming from my front end. but i need tires in the worst way and i need brakes. but im getting aset of used spindles from my friend and im going mock up an entireC5 brake set up and then swap out everything on my front end, upper and lower ball joints, outter tire rod ends, anti sway bar links, and the spindles with the C5 brakes. it should be one helluva good upgrade images/smilies/thumbup.gif i wont be doing it for some time but ill keep you posted with it when i start it. but back to the topic. if your tires are good then worry about whatever else takes priority. itll makes things alot more organized and it should also keep you more sane.

Also had B&M Shifter and drag radials. (although i'm sure you could hear the distinctive "squeak/crunch" of drag radials.)

He ran a 8.30 in the eighth mile against the viper, his current best. He says he thinks the car has a 7.7 in it, but he doesnt know how.

He spins it all the way into third if he's not careful, he'll find that half second in the 60 foot alone. He isnt even really power shifting.
