I have a 1997 pontiac Transam 6 spd. THe modifications are in the sig but im going to list them agian incase its not updated.

I was wondering if i should keep practicing with my good ol Cooper cobra street tires or if i should invest in rims and drag radials? or a high performance street tire such as fuzions on a different rim or somthing because i have no traction whatsoever. just looking for some advice about tire options.

Lightweight rims and P275/50R15

The taller sidewall of the 15 inch tire will help at the launch. You have 411 gearing. They will spin easily so you should have a tire to compensate. Standard ET Streets, even BFG's will probably work too, on a decently prepperd track.

Everybody has preferences, but disconnecting the front sway bar and some shocks that can be loosened up for track usage would be a good way to start. You may need to add an airbag later, or add subframe connectors later, but until you hook up you won't know.

I also very strongly suggest a driveshaft loop. They are inexpensive and will save your butt if something goes wrong.

 

I second the use of MT ET Radials...either in the 275 50 R15 or try a set of 255 50 R16s on 16x8 stockers. The M6 will probably like the taller sidewall of the 15s as stated above, but if you're on a budget they 255s will be good as well. Anything will be better than regular streets. I use the 255s on 16" stockers, but I'm an A4...
