But guys like Padre do great with 28" drag radials. He consistantly pulled 1.6x sec 60' times (bolt ons) and 1.60 (cam only) and 1.53 (forced induction).
I was pulling 1.73 sec 60' with 28" drag radials my last trip to the track. My biggest issue was getting 20" NT555Rs to hook (too much spin).
I expect to pull 1.6x sec 60' with 305/45/18 drag radials as soon as I get them.

You guys are autos and have a 4.03 first gear, even with your 3.27 rear gear us M6 guys would have to run a 22" rear tire (tire, not wheel) just to match your gearing with a 28" tire.
That's not taking into account the awesome torque multiplication of a stall converter. Auto cars are a whole different world, I guess I should have mentioned I was talking about M6 cars.
Autos are stupid easy to get out of the hole but stick cars are much more fun. My last car was a 98 SS M6, swapped to an A3, then back to an M6. It was my daily driver with only bolt ons, I got it to consistently 60 foot in the 1.4s with the M6 and there is no other feeling like driving an stick car out of the hole.
