Racestar skinnies have proven to be only worth about .1 seconds at the track and the rears are almost as wash considering the winner of the latest King of the street was a 5.0L with a 2.9L Whipple running on 9.70@145 on 20" drag radials with the stock auto and converter weighing in at 4,084lbs w/ driver.
Thanks...all old news. That is impressive that the SS vert...which is well over 4k pounds...still managed a 13.2. The mustang also had a faster convertible top. You forgot to mention that lol.

As far as your comment about a 20 inch rear rim and tire being a wash compared to 15-16 inch drag slick or aggressive DR...it is obvious you have very little knowledge on the subject to make such a statement.

If it is a manual car or an auto car with a stall converter in which they launch at high rpms...this mod alone could be worth a half second or more.
