Traction on the launch is my biggest problem, but I've had the tires siped since the times listed in my sig.

The 0.1 second 0-60 difference between the max and Greenzilla is because the Zilla weighs more. I have the max beat soundly at the 1/4 now. And I have style and handling
Ok fine then. I will hook up the Bonneville then we will have to heavy *** cars racing on the track.

Small cuts in the tire tread that allow the pads to grip irregular road surfaces better. Try doing a google for siping.

But that 3.5L Nissan mill must be able to wind up something nice....should be interesting indeed

I'm not to worried about NA Bonnevilles or even a stock L67
