fastest times on street tires?

[happy and angry]

Yea, if you're that traction limited in low gears I can see better tires or slicks putting you into low 12's, maybe high 11's. You'll be trapping around 115, and 5 mph is a big jump over a 1/4, but if you're spinning that much it's probably doable with just better rubber.

I haven't run the quarter in a front wheel drive car in probably 4 years, and never in a front wheel drive with any power. should be interesting.

Just watch out for wheelhop and the inevitable shifter vagueness that comes from the aggressive movement of the engine while launching. I launched twice and both times it felt like my engine broke out of its mounts.

Oddly enough, two weeks later while driving down the road, it DID.
