I stand by my statement. A 600 h.p. car with EVEN JUST SOME traction prep. doing 1.8's/1.9's = sucks......

Andre, it's lot harder to launch a 500whp car than a 280whp car on street tires.

So the stock cars you're saying are doing 1.8-1.9s as a comparison are not on street tires?

Those yes, most however might just have Nitto or M/T street radials(proper name) but they are really street/drag......

Of course if you use BIG wheels & BIG tires but skinny/little rubber, road driving radials, they would hopp (sp) around & give you 2.2's + 60'.

I don't even think, doesn't even come to my mind, drag racing & doing that

Those tire/wheel combo have their place/job & they do it well but not in drag racing, which is what we're talking about????

Now if I fix my pumpkin problem, next spring I'll get very street friendly Nitto/M/T street/drag radial & drive to the track, and heat them up before take off. No tires to change at track.

Is that so hard????? If it is then why bother with much H.P. for drag racing without being able to give it gas at the start?????
