My buddy with an identical build slapped drag radials on his car and ran 11.8.
What he said. I'm running Nitto Envo's on my GT500, and while a little better that the Goodyear's that came on it, any sort of boost and they pretty much go up in smoke. If you're looking at running a Nitto tire, it would be the NT05 drag radial. My favorite, however, is the Mickey Thompson drag radials.
