Best 60' on street tires?
I went out to the track again this weekend....and started pullin' some damn good 60' times.
I'm running a 245-45-16, z-rated of course, street tire. I've lightened up the front end a bit.....took the powersteering pump out (swapped for a manual rack) and took all of my air conditioning stuff out, (coil and all the lines) and I moved my battery back to the back.
Anywho...didn't beat my best 1/4 time, but here is the slip...
1.9495 --60'
5.6536 --330'
8.6799 --1/8th
81.54 -----mph 1/8
11.3078 --1000'
92.90 -----mph 1000'
13.5236 --1/4
101.76 ---mph 1/4
Just curious if anyone else has been able to pull some 1.9's in their 60's on street tires...I had way too many people ask me what type of drag radials I was running that night.

Nice 1/4 time 86gxlsp...I got razzed quite a bit from having a 13.43 @ 102.41, and yet I can see that you also have a slightly better ET also at 102.
I guess these guys runnin' high 13's at 107 just need to learn to drive.

i ran during a import event at toronto motorsports parkway, on 30*C day, and no prep....i drove it to the track...went to tech and went straight to the lanes to run......that was also at 38 psi in the tires.
the car did well....it also helped that i was running up against guys that i knew and wanted kick there ***'s.........

funny how that works...One of my 1.9's was against a awd twin turbo stealth.....my 60' was better than his. LOL
He was with a crew that was trash talking, and this stealth was the "fastest tuner around"...so I had to beat him.....and did.

Oooh.. BURN!
Um, driving experience can help extract the max traction out of the tires.. I checked the set that I had. they were 225/60R16 Falken Ziex tires that I got for 25 a tire. They are considered to be a middle of the road all season radial.
But hey, you youngsters always know better!
Anyways, the car just got a fresh set of ES-100s, so we shall see..
