Have you tried making a few passes on the hankooks? My car launches very hard on street tires. I'd be scared to put anything stickier on for fear of blowing up a tranny/diff/axle.

 

2nd gear burnout = win

 

Lose the front sway bar and use soft rear springs.

 

on the street i used my hankooks and they spin so easily, i will try diff things at the track on the 21st to see whats up.

 

Noob here, I get the rear springs why lose the front sway bar??

 

so your tires can come down further if the front end lifts this can translate into more contact and the ability to steer. Wich could be handy

 

Thanks ....

 

yes, and also more front lift = more rear squat = more weight transfer to the rear where traction is needed.

 

^^^^ I guess this is what the first day of class in DragRACING 101 would be....lol

 

Mickey Thompson has a line of drag-slicks for 13" wheels: https://mickeythompsontires.com/drag-tires/et-drag . Probably the usual mass retailers (Summit and Jegs) sell them, Tire Rack, from what I gather, does not.

 

1 day short of a 10 year thread bump.

Yikes.

 

I didn't see the "2009", It looked like "2019", and the dates almost exactly matched. The gentleman had a quick, specific question - which after much banter, nobody else answered. I offered a specific, actionable answer... which led to negative reputation. If such are the logistics of this site, what are the implications?

 

i was just talking about this thread at work.
i wanted to show my coworker the pic scott made....
