I'll have a solid 100awhp+ and another probably 200lbs minimum less than my 11.08 so hopefully I will be good to go lol
Well into the 10’s! It’ll be weird when you’re in the tens and going for faster...at some point you’ll be unhappy with a slower 10 sec pass. Now that is cray cray. AB3DD695 93DB 4026 9EB0 56DA15068C7A

Probably the first 13+ to downgrade to 10-12 rotors and calipers LOLView attachment 18203
Those look familiar! Less rotational mass! But those are Heavy Duty semi metallic pads, little more bite than ceramic pads. Also you have a better brake booster. I’d imagine braking is nearly the same. Rotor is smaller but not by a whole lot.

Fade will probably be worse but I don't think I'll be yeeting around corners anymore anywho

Welp, just bought up my drag pack. 4 wheels, 2 slicks, 2 tires, some fancy amazon lug nuts and my cheap ass has been stretched. Didn't ball out, but damn did it add up. Slicks basically on back order for a month which I already knew about but figure better get the ball rolling before hand.

17x10's on all 4 corners
28x11.5x17 slicks
255/55/17 rear tires

Square set up still basically if my math checks out.

Why only slicks on the front? Looking at my AWD gauge on a launch, it is mostly RWD and then as it reaches speed it transfers to mainly FWD. Seems like you would want slicks on the rear to prevent slip coming out of the hole. Aren't you more likely to spin on a launch vs. on a shift? I'd be curious to see a couple runs with this setup and then put slicks on the rear and see what a couple runs look like.

The front slips then activates the rear as an assist briefly. That’s why I only run Drag radials on the front. I like the idea of a balance...so drags or slicks on all 4 corners. But I think if the opposite setup is employed and only slicks or radials in the rear, the front will slip a ton and then obviously the rear will not one bit. Sounds like an interesting experiment though

Only spin the fronts. Rear is basically useless.

I sorta did that once. Radials on the rear with Conti’s on the front was terrible. The front would spin entirely through first gear lol.
My radials on the front are going to get replaced soon. I was thinking about Nitto 555 RII’s all around.

Balance doesn’t hurt
