8 second street tire supra
 
Just got news from the rest of my friends who were in Maryland 2 weeks ago. Posted a new best time of 8.65 with the top trap speed of the weekend at 170 mph in the 1/4 mile. Thats on bfg drag radials with full dash, full body, and non bored over motor.

This is how it gets done in Atlanta.

EExcept that while a BFG Drag Radial is a DOT approved tyre -it is NOT a n everyday all purpose street tyre.

So more accurately with highly specialized tyres that over-grown corrola hatchback pulled 8 seconds. :)

umm, i think the BFG drag radials come stock for sti...

NO car comes stock with Drag Radials especially a rally car.

They have Ultra High performance tires but not Drag Radials.

STi uses Bridgestone Potenzas RE070:

ooo, drag radials *drules*... i want some for my car so i can launch it at 5500 RPM and rip my tranny out :lol:

PaulGT2164 07-08-2004 01:52 AM

but they are still DOT approved for street use as well =) and its still damn impressive, especially with full body and waht not... =)

and there are supras out there that run in the 9s on normal street tires, which is awesome for a streetable car

i love supras

very fast street car,

as for the tires i think (car and driver) SBRP225/45R17 90W Bridgestone Potenza RE070 Summer/Directional Performance Tires are the tires that come with it,

mayb your friend got hook ups at the dealer :D

chipanggo 07-08-2004 04:56 AM

8.65 sec full bodied street car on the quarter mile? man that is some wickedly fast car. :twisted:

T-Bird 07-08-2004 12:03 PM

well they have old school muscle cars that do the same thing with a full body and interior on "street" tires but yes it is a fast car.

MercedesChinck: Your friend does NOT have stock tires on his car Subaru doesn't use BFG's they use the Potenza RE070 that I showed above.
