What are considered street tires? DOT legal? Are drag radials street tires?

Search for Novi357. He ran a 9.17 on 17" drag radials.

Fastest viper on 20" wheels in the world. Allegedly.

UGR did that on true street tires, no DRs, no ETs, nothing sticky, just plain street tires.

Maybe slathered with some sticky substance perhaps?;-)

MightyMouse's Turbo TA (semi-local) ran a 9.11@155 on DR's with 17x9's up front and 17x11's out back a few weeks ago.

Well, good for everyone that runs 9s on street tires. Anyone need a test car? lol

Not flaming at all, but it didn't look like it was going that fast to me. Maybe the camera zoom is what killed the speed effect. I was suprised when I saw the numbers.

Was that thing Minitubbed?
Damn that was moving!

 

[SVTdubs]

[Allen2001GT]

People seem to be missing the fact its not a 17 inch rim but rather a 20 with some low profile street tires on it.

 

[DEAD EYE]

Yeah, probably 345/25/20's

I think it is because the exhaust was pretty quiet, which makes it "seem" to be going slower than it really is. That Viper is awesome. :rockon:
