New Daily "Street" Setup

Trying to keep the sleeper look. lol.

Will drive 400 miles round trip to and from the drag strip Dec 12 @ Famoso private track rental with these. Hopefully I can cut much better 60 foot times than I have with the r888's.

Gonna go out and test launch a bunch of times to make sure the car can handle these bad boys

Just regular ET streets.

Just tried a couple launches with the tires at 35psi. Pretty consistent 0-60mph 2.4 to 2.6 seconds. Car handled it find. Shifted great.

Going to drop to 25psi and see what happens.

Beautiful set-up - i just picked up a set of 19" OZ superfogiato's for a track set-up - I need to get some better rubber as they came with Hankook's - so please post your thoughts/results/experiences with the new tires - i am sure they will be impressive!

Thx they are for drag racing and maybe airstrip racing too since most of the runs go from a dig now.

I tried to take a couple corners fast and the 19" front R888 / 18" rear DRs doesn't work at all in the turns.

Since we don't get VHT on our tracks I need to find more grip. Hopefully this will work!
