I base it on what my time slip says. 3-4 10ths are about as good as it gets for an improvement in sixty foot times with just drag radials on a street car. That does not translate to 1.5 second worth of ET. A guy that's getting 11.1s on drag radials is getting 11.7s on street tires! Just say you practiced and got better at driving the car. The tires didn't cut 1.5 seconds off your ET all by themselves. Using your own words. Any Badly driven car (GT500) will instantly go from a 12.5 to an 11.0 with a simple change to sticky tires???
Please go over post #18, where I stated I went from a 13.9 to a 12.4 on just DRs, and launching the car on stock tires vs DRs can not be done the same way. I launched at 3,000 rpm with DRs, something that would land me in the guard rail with stock tires. You dont own a GT500, however I did own your car for some time. Huge difference. I shared with the OP my experience with my car, not his or yours. Quit being goofy.

It was pretty funny to see that car dance all over.
IDk why they added 112 hp to the 2013 and kept the same 285 tires as the 10'-12' GT500. Almost as terrible as the Hellcat having 275s. DRs will make an auto Hellcat run 10s all day.
