I still love that look. See it a lot on the yank supras. The 9 sec drag videos etc.

Tough as hell. :flame Dev

 

You could fit a BFG Drag radial in a 15" or something like a Hoosier quicktime and use it on the road fine , it wouldnt do corners too well but for a bit of Sat nite action it'd be fine .

Tyres really don't come into the sat night action I go for. She might not be impressed if I dump a tyre on the bed. Who knows?!?

How much is the additional rolling radius going to affect your time? Obviously you are going to need a hell of a more torque to spin them babies up over stock radius and with more grip its gonna give that drive train a hell of a job to keep up isn't it?? Uprated Diff and transmission next on the cards or are you allready there with that?

Corvette's have a rep for being a bit tail happy and spinning Jake hence the link with Dude s new rollers mate:thumbs:

 

The rollers are also a safety issue to stop people putting their hands under the wheels to try to flatten them out (thats the trouble with being in a spanking club!!!) ;)

Trans is allready uprated dude , diff !!! i have a spare ;)

Re the times , in theory no diff maybe slightly less terminal speed, the car has enough power(400rwhp) to turn the larger wheel just as fast so each turn will throw the car forward further !!! + i wont need to change into O/D to avoid the limiter and with the added traction i can now use the Nitrous off the line , the 60ft times with these should be 1.6/5 as opposed to 2.2 when it ran its 10.8 , do the math ;) ++++ hopefully i wont have to feather the throttle for the final 75 mtrs as in the same run :cool:
