14 sec is not my best run, I just happened to have this one on video. Plus, I love the engine sound. I have run in the 13s, but w/ street tires there is massive wheel spin. Looking at the Hoosier DOT drags (225/50 15 - I need a 15in rim to clear my big brakes). Any experience w/ these? Better than the BFG DOT drag radials? Looking to drop into the high 12s w/ decent tires.

The car;

Very stock looking - a real sleeper.

 

what brakes are you running? almost any DOT drag radial will help drasitically in your times.
depending on your brake size, you can run some 14 inch wheels as well.

 

I have a Fast brakes 11" kit up front and GS-R in the rear. The car was built for AutoX and Road Courses. This is where I do most of my driving (so I'm sticking w/ 15in rims), but I like to take it to the drag track and surprise the V8's once in a while too. I've used the BFGs before on another car. My question really is, are the Hoosier DOTs a great deal better?

 

Alot of the guys on our team run the hoosier drag radials with their RSX's and they love them. I have never used them and have always used the BFG's.

 

Sweet! I like it. Very similar to a friend's dad's CRX.

Not sure you can call it a sleeper though if you've got big brakes, wheels, and a carbon hood.

 

Hoosiers are basically a cheater slick, they have two shitty little grooves in them that make them DOT legal. They were out extremely quick for a Drag Radial. They provide good grip, but are not really legal for most street tire classes.

 

what are you trapping?

From the vid it dosent seem to have much wheelspin at all, the 1st 2nd shift didnt even break loose

 

yeah man you need to shift faster shift that **** like you stole it bro, i bet you'd drop a tenth or 2

 

nice work, nice time
