Drag Radials And Lightweight Rims

I've heard that these can drop your 1/4 mile time by up to 0.4 of a second - has anyone had these sorts of results?

Cheers,

Your particular car certainly wouldn't see those gains from DRs. Higher powered cars might. Your car doesn't have enough power to spin the tires significantly enough to benefit much from DRs at all in my opinion so I say don't waste your money at this point.

Cool. Thanks for that man - I won't waste my time or money on them yet. Better go back to school car-wise and on how to get more power.

t6378tp, probably a good idea - Caesar's Chariot keeps telling me to get smaller, lightweight rims and I should drop maybe 0.2s off of my ET.
