alright!! Good kill!
My 2 experiences with C5 owners (one was a Z06) who've realized that their 'vettes weren't all that has not been pleasant. Worst part is that both drivers were probably over 40!
Just curious, but what else have you done to your car? Do drag radials really make a difference on the track? (I don't know much about drag racing. Only done it once with balding BFG Radial T/As)

drag radials are a farce for the average car with decent power but they work awsome on C5 vettes due to the high weight on the rears.

drag radials make a HUGE difference IF you spin at the track. if your not spinning, then theyre not for you. i dropped my 60fts by a tenth (1.94 - 1.85) due to my BFGoodrich drag radials. to get them to work properly you have to do a 7 - 10 sec burnout to get them nice and sticky.
BTW- nice kill on the C5! i bet he was just like
when you started putting lengths on him

Thanks guys..Yea i like BFG Drag Radials too!! they are all i run on my car...1.54 60ft at the dragstrip has been the best on them...I switched to 4.10 gears now and they arent doing as well as they used to..But they are still a awesome street/drag tire in my book..:rockon:
