That doesn't make any sense. You launch at 6500-7000 to get a good launch? On street tires? You will be spinning your tires like that which to me is a crap launch.

Not to mention the RE-010s that the ITR comes with are like glue. Why would you be dumping the clutch at damaging levels? To break the tires loose?

Some shitty drag radials. I'm really biased with the ITR, I don't see it as a drag car, so I can't give good advice there.
The car is designed to grip (limited slip, suspension, bushings, tires etc.), so, by throwing on a set of NT555s or BFG drag radials or any other tire that is more suited for drag launch, will handycap the cars natural abilties to manuver, which is a crime to do to it.
