The BFG dr's are awesome power braking as high as the rpm's would go and tires just grip no slip at all they are amazing!

I went out there that night and was in the stands. have some video from my DVD camcorder somewhere

I had my 06 C55 then

Toyo RA1 should be excellent for drag racing and a lot of corvette guys use them just for that. There is also a video of an E55 running mid 11's with RA1's. Another good tires are Michelin Pilot Sport Cups
