Drag radials!!
i recently purchased some mickey thompson 275/40/17 et street radials, for my c6 m6.i was curious if anyone has them and if they like the tires as well.
someone recently told me that i should put some thin tires in the front to keep car straight and from spinning out.also what is a safe rpm range to launch on them! my car is n/a with h/c and all types of bolt-on's with 446rwhp,411tq

guy at the track says it's a zo6 is it. from the side view looks like
i see a emblem! i tried lunching around 1500 to 2k rpm and it bogged
3500 seems to be my sweet spot any higher and it spins crazy.tried last
night for the first time. do you turn active handling & traction off or do you do it on comp mode.
