Just curious. Mine just arrived. Need to have them installed. My current best is a 2.1 on BFG Comp TAs with 32k hard miles. <img src="gr_emb.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

Hoping to shave .3-.4 with the Nittos. Actually ordered the new R-IIs. I know they're not as good for the strip, but I like cornering ability, too.

TIA... <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

1.75 on a 12.67 @ 107.4

A4 w/ SY3500 weighing about 3750.

I like them. Good with my set up as I'm not pushing alot of HP anyway.

I have pulled a 1.68 on the Nittos. This is with the ST3500 easing into it out of the hole.There is real fine line between the hooked hard launch and smoked tire launch.On average I see 1.70-1.72s. That's with a daily driver full trim race weight of 3575#s.

1.51?!! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> Was that with 275s or 315s? That's awesome! Hell...that whole run is pretty awesome.

So it seems like 1.7s are possible with my setup. If I can cut a 1.7 60' with practice that would be great for bringing my ET down.

The reason I'm asking is that I went to HRP for the very first time this past Sunday to see where my car is at. My best run out of three was a 12.7@112 with a 2.1 60'. I trapped at 112 on all three runs so I know my car has better ETs in it. If I can cut a 1.7 60', I should be able to hit 12.3s and maybe even 12.2s. Thanks guys.

Carlitos, that was done on 275/40/17 Nittos.

OK, I would like to know what is the best time that has been pulled on Nittos (275 or 315) on a high powered M6 car? Not that I would want to run that at the track, but trying to get an idea for the street.

I blow the Nittos right off the car now, but it has been so friggin cold that the tire rubber has been too hard to tell if they have a prayer of hooking up a little later on. Could be worth grins to run these at the track, though - might want to evacuate the crowd from the stands <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

You will NOT hook with nittos with that motor, they will be like street tires.....

M6's with nittos usually get around 1.8's if they are good 1.7's if they are really lucky

I think with some practice and the good track prep that Houston Raceway Park does, 1.7s are very possible. We've got guys down hear cutting 1.8-9 on good street tires quite often.

Actually, I'm realistically expecting 1.8s but hoping for 1.7s (see my initial post). Either way I'll be happy. See ----> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Colonel

You'll get your 1.7s (or better.) Just keep practicin' and keep studying. Remember, it's not how wide your contact patch is, but how much pressure you force upon it that matters.

Good track prep at HRP.

Thanks Colonel!

Yeah BigBos - no way they will hook - will go up in smoke. For the track it is probably going to be Hoosiers or ET Drags on Draglites - hopefully that will hook.

The Nittos are probably the best that I can do on the street. I can't really think of another option in a tire that is really streetable on a regular basis.

Dang it Colonel. I don't want to go over to a high stall auto yet while this car is still predominantly my daily driver. Do I just have to sit back and drool at the ridiculous 60 foot times some of you guys are getting? <img src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" border="0" alt="[whiner]" />

Hey, I'm just trying to keep you guys from getting lazy, that's all. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
