well... not necessarily the fastest.. but who's doing great times just with nittos ?

Anyone know?

I'd like to see how much power you can actually use with nittos at the track and not going totally sideways.. :shrug:

I doubt Im even close, but 11.6 @ 123 mph on Nitto DRs with a 1.8 60'

I think broke7 ran low 11s on Nittos.

I saw a 96 GT with 351 engine I believe run 10.0 on drag radials. Not 100% sure if they were nittos or not, but that car absolutely flew. I think he trapped around 140 or something crazy like that.

exactly...!! You can find cars with 'DOT tires' running 8s.. but to be honest that's not a 'street' tire. ;-)

Nittos 555r are almost a regular tire, i even autocross and go to OT with those, they just don't last that long :kaboom:

Sam, Do you remember anything else about that article? i will try to find that article :read: , do you remember the car?? 10.90 on Nittos it's AMAZING !! :beer:

I thought fubu795's buddy Mauro ran a 10.91! In one of hid videos it had him racing a chic in an older cobra, she ran an 11.02-03, and he ran a 10.91 against her! I think it was on Nitto's. Ask fubu795, or go to his website and look up some of the trckday videos. Here is the link. http://www.03cobra.net
