theres 2 types of street slicks.. Theres the radial type, then the cross ply type as well matt. The cross ply is like a full drag slick style, but still considered street trim.. If you are going to run an ET quicker than 12.5 the track wont allow you to run a radial front with this tyre, so you have to go the MT Fronts. But some ppl do anyways at thier own risk or until they get caught out. Whereas the ET Street Radial you can run watever you like on the front. Oh, and make sure they are fitted on some dardy sing Weld Draglites whilst ya at it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

You will upset some LS1 cam owners too with quicker ETs! Ben, you say only one year your wallet has copped a beating... Try 5 years mate!@ Once its done, if it ever gets done, so long as its a nice streetable car that will pull an 11.999 I'll be happy... VLs tend to break too easily coz of thier age... Hence Im taking a liking to the LS scene. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
