Your fastest LT1 m6 60 ft times w/ drag radials?

I really want to stick with drag radials w/ my m6 so I am wanting to see everyone's best 60ft times. Also could you list your suspension setup and which drag radials you used. Thanks.

I think you need to make this for 9inch/12bolts only because what you can do on a 10 bolt is very limited without skating on thin ice.

Slicks and 5k dumps should net some 1.5-1.7's

So with good suspension you don't think I could pull 1.5's with drag radials. I've heard if you can stick drag radials you will get better times due to less rolling resistance.

why stick to drag radials? you can launch much harder on slicks even if it is more rolling resistance.

You can pull great 60fts with a good suspension, driving, etc. But due to how much harder you can launch the car with a slick it will net better 60fts than DR's in most cases.


When your talking about a car running faster with DR's than slicks your talking about 7 8 9 second cars. maybe some in the low tens too but you catch my drift. That is when rolling resistance becomes an issue.

with your setup and mods I would go slick. but thats my opinion.

goodluck
