Then they can't seem to figure out why they still spin.

agreed. I love the people too who think there 400-500hp cars make too much power to get traction on a 275 drag radial... They should sit back, relax, and watch some 275 class cars race... There dead hooking with over double the hp. Suspension is king!

That's right. I know he bought them because he didn't think they made a drag radial in his size. He'll probably get NT05R's next time around.

Yeah, definitely. I'm hoping for a boosted setup, but that will be some time from now. Since its my daily driver with over 120k miles, I'm going to focus on doing internal work with a timing chain soon, and then I'll get some boost.

Thats good to hear, not everyone can run with 600+rwhp cars. lol
