MT Drag Radials Are The Shit

justinschmidt1 · Apr 24, 2013

Its awesome being able to actually hook/use power in first gear.

Even when I had the Nitto 555R's on my mustang the thing would never hook.

These MT radials are like glue. Thing just dead hooks in 1st.

I know it's a DR but how is the wear compared to the 555's?

EDIT: 555R's

damn that is nice, since i added the KB ive found first gear to be useless. I'm sure the MT's wear a lot faster than the 555R, but that's why they hook a lot better.

Yeah that's what I'm figuring

Yea, Or people that drive their cars 2500 miles a year, idk lol.

Its awesome but I drive my car way too much to be replacing those expensive ass tires so often.

97stanger · Apr 25, 2013

yeah man after running ET Radials I'll never run another tire. How ya liking the Caddy world?

justinschmidt1 · Apr 25, 2013

Ya wish I could afford to run them normally.

I'm loving the car.

The sleeper effect is pretty funny. The lady handing the slips to me at the track was like what the hell your running 11s in this thing

Only problem is you always wanna go faster and I'm trying to keep this car normal.lol

haha yea, im still surprised that nobody really knows about the car, even car people don't realize whats in it.

They just think its got an LS motor in it and runs 13s

hahaha, yea dude, people just have no idea I guess

People crack me up though, like who calls out a 4300 lb 4 door sedan? I know its a V but jesus people are dumb.

Had some guy today on a facebook group talking shit so I told him relax, the caddy would put busses on you, he responds back claiming his bolt on 2v runs high 11s after back and forth me calling him out and telling him he knows nothing he finally admits to never running the car at the track yet at all.

Kids these days man. Ignorance is just out of this world.

g36 monkey · Apr 26, 2013

Lol, That was like that kid on my fb saying "bro I know my acura would be faster than that"

who the hell cares in the first place? But no, it probably won't, you beat your Honda friends because they have 16 second cars they think are fast.

Dude, I just hate how ****ing stupid and ignorant everyone is...It doesnt even make sense. Its not that I care cause clearly anyone claiming this shit is just long gone but like why?

I made a sweet collage of my talk with a 2v owner.

Cant see pics. NPI or PI? that could be in the 12s if its a PI, some kid around me hit a 12.9 with a PI swapped gt. It's basically stock, I was pretty impressed

Its a 99-04 GT, bolt on car on street tires that he goes on to say suck and spin like crazy.

Highly doubt a bolt on PI gt is running 12s on some street tires that spin all day. Its a 13 second car at best.

He tried to claim it would run high 11s lol wtf, Ive watched many 400 rwhp vortech 2v cars run mid/high 12s on street tires.

Im no genius but I would say the difference between mid/high 11s and mid 13s could easily be many bus lengths lol

Im quite familiar with how a 2v runs. Theres one sitting below me with bolt ons, 4.10s, 3600 stall that will run 13.3 on a good tire but id still put busses on it.

Kids just talking out his ass completely and even admitted that he has never been to the track. Amazing.
