Default How to get my 60ft down on street tires?

I push around 400 rwhp to the wheels. Mods in sig. I have to play with what I have as far as rims and tires. What are the best street tires to get the job done. I would like a 1.8-2.0 60 foot time. My goal is to get around a 12.5 in 1/4 mile.How to launch a M6 also Thanks.

All I can say is good luck. In a stick car, that will never happen, check my post, my car is maybe a lil heavier but honestly even if you had a DR, it would be tough, you would have to whip the **** out of the clutch.

Had it been a auto car, i have done it myself but even then, it was on a good day.

i wondered this also there is a local street tire class and i was wondering if you would try to hit them harder out of the hole with more tire pressure...or hit them softer with less pressure? shocks on tight or loose? ect....
