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.

I wont even bother giving you examples of how off you are.

Go back and re-read my post. I said swapping the stock fronts only for skinny Racestar FRONTS is only worth about .1

I came to this conclusion based on my own personal experience and the famous svtp member rw95GT (fastest stock powered GT500) who went from a 11.35 with heavy 19" stock front's down to 11.27 with 17" Racestar skinnys up front. He eventually got it down to a 11.16 after a few more sessions and better weather.

11.27 & 11.1 w/ Racestar Skinnys fronts and 15" Racestar rears w/ slicks.


Sure 15" slicks hook better then a 18-20" DR's but there are still plenty of 9 second Mustangs running 18-20's to make me think that its not as big of a deal as some of you make out to be and to show its ability to drive to the track on your factory 20" rims and click off 9 second pass's to win the competition and drive back home in your full weight 4,070lb 5.0L Mustang on 20's.
