I figure you might be able to get in the 1.7x range with the 20" drag radials, but not much better.
No, it's going to take more power than that to get into the 10's. These are not light cars and the things that might have worked for folks with 4th Gen cars will not necessarily hold true with the Gen5. You should not be trying to compare what 530rwhp would accomplish in a 4th Gen to what the same power is capable of in the new car.

it takes more than 530rwhp to get into the 10's??
are you joking? 450 rwhp would get 10's on a 4th gen (M6). I bet 530 rwhp and 18" DR's will easily get in the 10's in good weather
i apologize, i missed the 20" DR's. I thought they looked smaller in the video.
obviously its all relative... a 5th gen on 20's isn't going to lay down impressive ET vs rwhp. its just comical to see people j i z z over something that is nothing more than expected.
anyone that spends 1500 on a cat-back or headers is a freaking moron. You can get a set of mufflers for $100 and have them welded in/installed and get the same or better sound/hp for 1/10th the price. you could also probalby go to home depot and make a CAI for $50. the aftermarket companies are going to rape people until there is a decent supply of aftermarket parts for the 5th gen.
