^ He's from Cali. ^

I'm glad someone brought this thread back... I was looking into the whole "he's running DRAG tires" discussion... I have an article where a street Z32 is running 9.1 in the 1/4 with drag radials in Japan... just some FYI. Does anyone know for certain that Greg is running with Drag Slicks?

i am pretty positive he is running slicks...he wouldnt heat the tires up like that if they werent slicks.
FYI: drag radials work good when lightly warmed...you will notice people with drag radials in the burnt out box only do about a 2 second burnout while people with slicks sit there and roast there tires for a good amount of time.

i would like to see that vid of drag radials on a 9 second Z32, those are some amazingly sticky radials. you ahve to remember, slicks have the grip they do because they can wrinkle and flex against the ground. a drag radial will not flex like this, it will break loose before it flexs or wrinkles.

-HKS GT3037S turbos
-Various HKS electronics
-Although they may be hard to see... drag radials

Good find, man. Wish I could read that...lol...

[1viadrft]

Looks like he is saying that he is looking into getting into the 8's... or something along those lines. Shouldn't be too hard.

[longlivetheZ]

Probably not if he's already running consistant 9.1s. However, it might be almost maxed out by now so getting that extra bit of go might be tough. I dunno.

[1viadrft]

Shouldn't be too hard if he switches to full drag-slicks I think.

look like slicks to me. especially with the big spray painted like M/T on the sidewall?

reguardless, very impressive...i bet there are many 9/10 second Z32's over there. Japanese are much faster with technology than the US.

[1viadrft]

They are definately drag radials, Jason. Mickey Thompson also makes drag radials... maybe you aren't aware of? Also the article repeats "DOT" (Dept. of transportation) like 6 times... DOT is a generic term in Japan BTW...
