Just wanted to clarify my comment regarding the new Pirelli's.
They're obviously not drag radials, and they will lose traction just like the OEM's did if I dump the clutch @ higher rpm's.
However, they grab MUCH faster and smoother than the OEM's when I feather the clutch.
And an added plus is the wheel hop I had with the OEM's is gone.

I had Pirellis on my S197 too, along with 4.10s and all that good stuff. Once I installed lower control arms to help control wheel hop, the Pirellis did ok for me. I was able to launch pretty aggressively and pull consistent 2.0 60s, and it hooked on the street decent enough. Personally, I think a too much focus goes into rubber and not enough attention goes into the suspension. I've pulled 1.7 60s on cheap Falken 285s due to having the right suspension set-up.

He may have had too much cam for his setup (gears, converter if an auto, etc). His cam may peak high in the powerband and it may have taken him a while to hit his "sweet spot" in the rev range. Just a theory. Nice run.
