there are bias ply street tires and radial street tires.

To whoever mentioned Titan's car for a real DR supra.......well if you want to go into racecars then go look at MSP's supra which weighs more then Titan's paper weight and has gone 7.90 on drag radials while Titan is stuck in the 8s.
MSP's race car went 7.90 on drag radials with a 88mm turbo on it at Englishtown, I should know I was there watching it run. It also is far from a full weight Supra at best, have you actually taken a look at that car lately ? It's gutted just as bad as the Titan car and the AAP car, down to a carbon fiber dash shell. That being said low 8s on a 88H GK is not that bad of an accomplishment either, I'm sure if Nero wanted to invest the time in the Supra again like he does the Celicas it would be a 7 second car no questions asked.

Did you video tape that 216.8 run last week, I think that will let you know what a largeframe turbo on a Titan 2J will do. If not I'm sure we'll see in Vegas.

That being said anyone who daily drives Drag Radials on a high HP car has some big balls, I've been caught in the rain in friends cars more than a few times and we might as well have been on slicks. The tires are design to get you to and from the races, not necessarily to be driven every day (although this may be possible on a 150hp honda, not the case with a RWD 450+HP Toyota).
