Are you looking for handling or straight line traction?
For handling, the tire to beat would be a Michelin Pilot Sport or Pilot Sport A/S, but they're about $250 each. There are many other good cheaper choices, such as the BF Goodrich Comp T/A KD's (dry weather), KDW's (wet and dry), Firestone Firehawk SZ/50, etc.
I personally run Comp TA KDW's on my car and I'm very happy with them. I was going to get Pilot Sport A/S tires (I run them on my Pro-Touring Chevelle and love them) but at the time I couldn't justify the cost, the KDW's were half the price. They ride good, they're pretty quiet, they have a ton of grip in turns, and they have good straight line traction.
If you want to run drag radials in the back for more straight line traction someone else will have to help as I've never ran them myself. I have friend running the new BF Goodrich drag radials that like them, and they've also used Nitto NT555DR's with good results.
