i ran my car a while back just on street tires.. a few mods intake, full exhaust, lc arm, and more, thats not the point.. so i launch no spin perfect..then as i go to second i spin the **** out of the tires, so i let off..next round..go to second at partial throttle..then as i shift to third same ****..i know dradials or posi trac would help but for goodness sake its not like im supercharged or running juice..basically i just wanted to see what the car was capable of street tires before modding was continued, oh and i dont have problems hooking up on the street..just the strip

Re: question
as street tires heat up, they're grip goes down. When was the last time you full out launched it on the street like you do on the strip? I'm willing to bet it's been awhile, and if you go try it you'll fine the strip does hook up better.~97 3.8L V6 Camaro~

Re: question

Re: question
ive done some hard launches of a stop light on an empty street and yeah of a launch the strip is better but who knows and i didnt burn out before any of my runs at the strip so my tires were not hot therefore losing grip that way wasnt a factor.

Re: question
hey smoke panther what kinda times did you get when you went?.just wondering because i read in another discussion that you were cammed and im goin to do a cam and heads etc...oh yeah i found a time slip from before i modded anything with a best time of 15.9, i figured that would work since i dont have the ones when i went after mods.Last edited by 00delbz; 11-24-2008, 12:23 AM.
