My GXP in its "Play Shoes" My local track is closed for the season but I will be ready to play next year.
I wish I would of got these 2 weeks ago so I could go play at the track.
I have $300 in the tires, wheels, mounting & balancing.
I have 275/40/17 MT drag radials in front & 265/40/17 Goodyear F1 in the rear on OEM Mustang 17x8 Cobra rims. I plan on putting these on my Wife's 06 Mustang when we take it to the track as well.
Tires don't rub, I have less torque steer than with my other tires & the car handles even better than it did before. It's going to be a long winter waiting for the track to open.

0-30 my Wife's Mustang might be quicker, it has 4.10 gears in the rear but after that it's all GXP.
I raced a 2010 Mustang GT a couple weeks ago. He got me off the line but by 50mph I could see the GT in my rear view mirror.
Now my Wife is looking at getting a 2011 SS/RS Camaro with an auto tranny so I might "need" to get a turbo for the GXP.

Haven't ran with them yet. The track closed for the season on 10/31 so I just missed out.
I got a 13.8 with a 2.2-2.3 60 ft on stock tires so I'm hoping for a 13.4 or better with 1.8-1.9 60 ft.
Just driving around & playing a bit she's a beast with these tires.
