I'd hope i have at least a 14.5 in this thing with traction, maybe faster with nice air.. I wish i lived closer so i could learn how to launch this thing, i did some fooling around on the street today, my times are definatly representative of my tires... they dont' get warm and sticky, they just get greasy when they get hot. I can't even get them to throw any rubber in the wheelwells after a 30 second burnout...... they work great when cold though. After you do a burnout.... your traction for the entire day is screwed, gotta put some miles on it, before they'll hook again. I find this rather weird, does it have something to do with 40 series low profile z rated tires? or just the brand? who knows.... but i want som bfg drag radials for next time.

Z rated tires are a very hard compound; to withstand high-speed down the highway. I have the same problem with my Pirelli Pzero's on the Z06. They spin and jump but won't really hook up. You need to pick up a cheap set of BFG's that are softer and you'll grab better.
Steve: good time man. I think the .666 R/T is pretty funny! That should be your "name" here ".666"

Yeah as soon as I saw that .666 R/T as I left the line I knew is was gonna be good, and to top it off it was up against a Dodge 1500 hemi, and yeah I won.
It was an awesome night!!!

NA=normally aspirated (no blower or turbo)
If someone wants to take my truck you can. Can't imagine you could do anything worse to it at the track than I do on a daily basis.
