You must find a balance with the car, power, and track to achieve your fastest time. It is one reason you see guys with bone stock mustangs throw on only DR and not slicks because slicks are worthless until you get into a higher power range for them.
The quickest Mustangs at the track were automatics. As far as my car, I couldn't get traction no matter how much I ruined the clutch. When I called M/T tires & asked why, they said that they were not for manual trans. cars. I know many people doing well, even your record holding n/a Z ran stock street radial, I just couldn't.

I believe in using as much tire as possible as long as they fit & don't bog/stall the car.
