60ft times on radials

[NoSLowFiveO]

anyone wanta make me feel better? I ran my car on a set of balding 24" dunlop radials and managed a best 60' of 2.16

It got me curious as to what times are good/bad when useing a street tire. so whats your best 60 on radials?

2.08 on my G-Force Radials (245/50/16's) with 373's...wheel hopping the whole way...seemed to help me out...that was my best ever...I average about your time...but these 60ft times were with bolt-ons, gears, and full exhaust...not the h/c/i in my sig...I haven't been to the track since I added it...now there is to much tire spin

I have lowering springs and subframes...so they kind of cancel each other out...

My personal best is a 2.17.....I thought it was pretty decent, but I've seen some guys that pull 2.0's with normal street radials (not drag radials). So if you're in the 2.1 range I think you're doing decent.

hey, I guess it wasnt so bad afterall. I do have a c4 to help things out a little though. but with a 3600 stahl its tough to retain the tire spin.
No wheel hop outa mine, probably from lack of tire tread.

In my old coupe I pulled a 1.96 on a 255/60/15 BFG TA Radial. I slipped the clutch pretty aggressively.......

This will make you feel better.. i've got bald toyo tires... and my best 60 ft was like 2.4... i run 2.5's when it's colder constantly.. it's horrible. I'm still running constant 14.7's.. but with the mods in my sig i think i should be running faster

Yeah your time would be down closer to the high 13's if you could "grab"...

The only time I would ever get that bad of a 60ft...was when I overreved and didn't slip the clutch and just layed rubber for 60ft...I'm guessing your having traction problems
