Default DOT slick users come in

Ok I'm getting down to the last little bit on my Mickey dr's and I have been looking around and kinda want to try the Hoosier quick times. I'd like to hear from some people tho that street race and drive on "cheater" slicks, such as how do they hook on a non prepped surface and what are rolls like with them and people that have used both drag radials and slicks on the street which would u prefer on the street

Default hoosier qtp



if you can zoom in on the rear tires hoosier radials have a "slicks" type sidewall that really flexes on the launch. these are 275/40 17 QTP

that car is a stock IRS no mods made at all to suspension and on 555r's it would cut 1.7-1.8 60' on goodyear eagle dr's 1.6-1.7 on the hoosiers 1.52 is the best and that's when this was taken. at the time this pic wa taken the car was putting over 600rwhp
