In my old blown Mustang GT I consistently ran 3-4 MPH faster on DRs than on street tires (30rwhp less than the vette). You are right with the 60' statement. But there are a lot of cars that are not flat out way past the 60'. Also, any MPH you gain in the 60 you will carry through the traps.

Now your car (though bad ass) make a bit less power than mine. Have you ever had much problems hooking up past the 60' maybe the 330'. I'm pedaling the vette until about 65ish mph (not sure where that is distance wise, but the 1/8is at 93mph). Now how much more MPH will the car pick up if I can go flat out at the top of first?

This is one reason I have waited to install the KW Coilovers (springs 10% stiffer than stock). I wanted to get a good run before, because afterwards it will be harder to hook up.
