I would hope that a "streetable" car, even with 700rwhp COULD be driven without spinning the wheels. However, if much of that power is intended to be utilized on public roads, I contend that wheel spin WILL be an issue on street tires. I can drive my car in the rain without spinning the tires, but if I want to drag race it in the rain I will have traction issues. The power simply cannot be used under those conditions.

Do you see the point?

I drove that car every day sun, rain and snow. Of course in rain and snow I had to be more cautious just like if I was driving a 100hp car.

I have a fully stacked suspension and my car cant hook a street tire on a launch with 450 horse and 4.10s.

Oh the words of wisdom

What do you have?

I had megabite jr lower control arms, cant remember for the life of me who made the uppers and QA1 coil overs. The megabite were key.

I had Megabite Jr's before I replaced them with my MM extreme duty adjustable lowers.
That was a swap for handling purposes, not drag racing. The Megabites DID in fact hook better, but not enough better to hook a bunch of torque on street tires.

I agree that a drag specific suspension will hook better than stock or handling suspension, but it is going to take very sticky tires and a prepped surface to harness a lot of torque.

oxford + 700 rwhp = 1/8th ET =7.18

me + 385 rwhp = 1/8th ET= 7.25

Maybe you should be taking lessons from me bro.

The man is just at a higher level than all of us.

Dont want to get into the middles of yall's bk and 4th but damn those numbers in comparison either he should be running ALOT faster or you are one hell of a damn driver. Either way nothing but respect to both of yall and what yall have done to those rides. I dont know how much you've invested into that car to dip into the low 11s trapping over 120mph but to get something like that from the factory in this present day will cost more that a pretty penny. Keep doing what ya'll are doing no doubt!

When I finally get to gears I am going to go with 3.73 mainly because I will still be doing alot of highway driving and I would like to keep the rpm and the drone down a bit.
