60' on Nitto's It can be done. 2002 C5,M6,stock 3.42 gears,SPEC 3I clutch,Nitto 305/35/18 on Z06 wheels,race weight 3550.
Here are my 60' for the day
1.75
1.73
1.69
1.66
Tires were at 20psi and launched at 4500rpm with a little clutch slip
I see no reason to run ET streets now.I'm sure when I swap to a Z06 tranny 1.5's can be had.

Good luck at the drag strip!

And my buddy is pickin up a set of Nitto's for his Lightning for cheap as all hell. He's hopin to get it back out the the track again and see what he can do.

i have not tried my 305's on the track but once and the clutch went out.... Long story and still dealing with SPEC.. but the 17" et's gave me 1.66 short times pretty consistently on the track which blew me into the 10sec barrier with a .75.. either way i don't mind a few tire changes since the DR's are all i can run on the street.. why chew them up on the track when i can run the ET's... then they last longer..
