so far, my tires are pretty sticky- I can spin a 1-2 shift for a second, but then it hooks up again. The builder put 17" wheels with more modern rubber on it, and the 3-link is very well set up. If I can spin 2nd at will, I think I'll be happy haha
I remember on the Vette Z06 I used to own- when I put Nitto 555R2 rubber on it, the car felt like it lost power- I'd bet it would have been quicker in the 1/4 mile though, those tires hooked up well.

PS- the F150 story- priceless! Wish you had video

Several years ago a gentleman in a Lamborgini pulled up beside me at a light,both of us with respect for each other,(being civil)light conversation,complemented each others rides.Anyway,the drag racer in me reared it's ugly head,so I had to ask and pointed (no lol's in sight) to the next light? He smartly declined! The 460/550+ in my car is dailed in and very crispy,the coilover suspension has been scaled,so it tracks like on rails,even when the tires are being shredded.It launches very hard and straight.Oh! how I love this car,it's great reading what the rest of you have to say about yours!

The scary part about street racing in California is that if you get caught, your ride is impounded AND CRUSHED!
Kind of makes street racing a real gamble.

In Dallas, the long arm of the law has gotten proactive. After numerous deaths of innocent bystanders the police cruise the local spots heavily and have deployed 'bait cars' to catch the streeters. You challenge one of them to race (even just revving the motor) and you will be pulled over and taken off to jail (car to impound at $175 per). Found guilty? Fine starts at $2500 and rises exponentially from there. Lots of cars go bye-bye as owner must provide receipts for high dollar parts to prove they are not stolen. While I disagree with a lot of the tactics, I approve of the intent. Street racing deaths are much rarer, and the streets are relatively calm again. It makes zero sense to street race and risk grandma in her Buick when Ennis has low buck night drags, and you have real road courses close by. Let's get on the track and see how fast you REALLY are!
For the occasional idiot, I have a badge from my son's playset that looks just like the ones a state trooper carries...from a distance. I used an old flip up leather notepad and superglued it in and it works like magic relieving brain cramps. You should see the looks on their faces and how fast they exit the roadway!
