[QUOTE="Handlebar Moustache, post: 16184368, member: 187093"] I'd be willing to bet that if you get yourself a nice set of drag radials you will smoke him. That AMG is nice and heavy; it likely has a few hundred lbs on you. Not to say it isn't fast, but he's got the same limitations you do...namely traction. Those cars run low 12s and trap in the low 120s...so traction is lacking. Lots of power and not enough rubber...same problem you have. I'd focus on laying the power down first...it'll only cost you 400 bucks or so. If you upgrade your blower later, you will already have the supporting rubber. The first time I warmed up a set of Nitto DRs on a humble 350 whp 86 GT, I almost shit myself when I took off and they dead hooked. And those were old, shitty, used DRs. [/QUOTE]
