USMC you don't need a "cheater slick" either. They are pretty much a regular slick with some grooves cut to pass DOT regs. Get a drag radial like a BFG or even a Nitto and you will be fine. BTW a TT Cobra going 7.8's on a DR is no big deal, there are cars that in the 8's (1/4) on a dr, I run 7.4's in the 1/8 on a MT dr, N/A to boot.
the tt cobra he is refering to is manny's i think. it is actually an 03 but it goes 7.79 in the 1/4 at 180 mph on MT et streets.

Nitto is a drag radial. MT ET Streets are a "cheater slick". I am ordering the MT ET Streets for my GT.
