Don't trust street tires at 60MPH

[justabuickv6]

Well, I went to the track tonight to only find out they were closed. On the way home, a DPS Mustang pulled up next to me.

We both go on it, I locked my converter at 65 and instantly broke loose. Not a little, a lot. Scare the #%^ out of me. I went across two lanes.

I took my time catching up to him. This time, we went from a 75 roll. He sprayed but I pulled on him pretty hard. All three times.

The Buick runs 11.65 at 116 on a hot day. It's 40 degrees tonight. -2100 Density Altitude with 30.69 baro. I am sure it was making some power.

I normally run BFG drag radials and 60ft 1.60's but I had Nittos NT450 (street tires) on it tonight. They are horrible.

I find that my nitto 245 radial HP's hook up less than my stock BF goodrich 215's or w/e is stock. Scared the s*&T out of me more than a few times as well

Ahhh...I know what you mean. My car does that sometimes when the temps are lower than 70 degrees and cooler streets. I have drag radials too, it seems to downshift and boost spike at the same time/ very scarey!!
