[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16334348, member: 68944"] Drag radials will help you 60ft much better, and at a high rate of speed. If you pick up 1-2-3mph in the 1st 60ft, do you think that somehow falls back off by the 1/4 mike? Math says it will lead to a linear progression of gaining speed. You will already be at a higher speed by the 60ft mark of 1-2mph. As you accelerate from there forward at the slightly higher rate of speed, by the 1260ft later you will be likely traveling an additional 2-3mph faster. Most stock tested red eyes trap 125-130. All variables in, 127. You’re trapping 132-134. Congrats, your drag radials were a good purchase, enjoy. An 800hp car on sporty all season tires will trap 3-5mph lower than when it’s on drag radials. Going from a 2.0 to a 1.7 60ft does amazing things. Yes, when the spin unwinds from a looser tire you do pick up a few mph, and yes, going from a decent tire to a sticky tire may actually reduce speed (almost entirely because bias ply wrinkle wall slicks grow taller as you reach higher speed), but in this case, going from a ho hum (crappy) factory tire to a drag radial, you just get to give the car the business much sooner.
