What does it matter how much rwhp you have, when driving in the rain? Who goes around flooring these cars in the rain? It doesn't matter what kind of tire you have, that's just stupid.

But like you said you only have boltons (I'm not dissing that, I promise) I dont know what kinda tranny he has, but with either it'll be harder to handle than a bolt-on car with the same tranny. If you dont think RWHP affects driving in the rain, your mistaken, can you imagine driving a 1000 RWHP car around in the rain on DR's?! Then there is emergency manuvers, and to perform them in the rain with DR's is not fun. Anything over 50 MPH with a decent HP car will cause the rear to walk while wet outside. This guy, I'm sure, has some drag wheels, if he wants a tire that can hook he just needs to undo 10 lugs. For daily driving its not practical, nor cost effective to use a DR on a high HP car.
