I don't recommend it. I could have went 1.5's with a tire and the car was only making 367rwhp at the time....the Nitto's were just a good street tire. Check out JD's Camaro, he's gone 1.5's on BFG's with next to nothing in suspension mods.
They have a bad tread wear...which means they'll hook great typically. I'd go with MT's though if I were you. I'm not messing around with my next tire, I'm going with slicks....

Agreed. I have them on my fox. And I can't wait to get it to the track.
i know that Mickey T's are the best, but they just too big and ugly to me, i have only seen the one with "Mickey Thompson" written in white on the sides, and they are really tall, i dont want that, i want the ones that you have to take a close look to tell that they are drag radials. . .

The ones that say M/T in white are the ET Drags. Those are slicks. What you want is the ET Street Radial. They come in a variety of sizes. And they look like a street tire.

Just went to the GTO forums and saw that the normal 1/4 mile times were 14.00. When they didn't have a good driver the 1/4 mile times were 14.9-15.3. Guys, thats strait from the GTO forums from the people who love em....... Now obviously there were some, just like here, who highly modified them and ran 11's to mid 10's, but stock to stock..... MUSTANG!!
there are new stangs ran high 14s which they are soppsed to run mid 13s.. l have seen GTO vids l believe on streetfire that they ran flat 13 very low 13s.
I've seen vids of most everything, even Honda's running 9's, I've seen video of so many things (car related...) yet on the street and at the track, where it counts I have yet to see GTO LS1 stockers best a very high 13.... and the infamous 6.0 GTO was maybe a few tenths quicker... but since you saw vids of new Mustang's running high 14's, that must be the norm....
Do you dislike your car or something? Can't get it out of the 14's? Good grief, I've seen video of GTO's running 15's, does that make it the norm??
dude l like my car but that doesnt mean that l have to make my car my god and defend it all the time.. truth is truth.. new GTOs are faster than us.
if you would have line a up a decent driver l would have seen what would happen to you! those things will kill us.
you are talking about freaking hondas, show me 9 sec. stock honda! l am talking about stock GTO ran 13 flat and very low 13s at the track. have you seen 13 flat bone stock stang GT?
it is not about loving my car or something, it is the truth.. l will bet EVERYONE on this web site.. STOCK for STOCK decent drivers.. hands down GTO!
here is a link about 0-60mph times and 1/4 mile times
P.S. l am not trying to be jerk or something.. l love my mustang and other mustangs as much as you guys do.
First off,,if you seen a new gto that was STOCK run a 13.0 flat then that person is a better driver than the Pro who drove the car & told GM it was a 13.30s car!(for which the general public is having a hard time reproducing!)Secondly,,if this was a 13.0 run it WAS done with an exceptional driver AND drag radials!No way that car can run 13.0 on street radials...Most of us here(IMO) are street racers.That's where the whole story unfolds because you get into more races on the streets(if your a race fiend!) then you do at the track with D/Rs....If you believe that the GTO is quicker then thats your oppinion.But you will have a hard time feeding that dish to the ones here who are beating 04-06 GTOs on the street!Again,,it's just my Oppinion.
dude, first of all those numbers are general number that people runs at the track and second: 13.0 is what GM produced.. not 13.30 check the link l gave above.
also l am not saying my opinion.. l am saying what l see.

GTO's have steeper rear axle ratios, and a steeper 1st gear ratio.
That makes a quick launch tougher.
Even getting a good launch it means the engine has to push longer to get into it's powerband.
Corvettes handily beat Mustang GT's, and GT500's. Because they have power, and are lighter.
F-Bodys, DO NOT beat Mustang GT's. They also have a steeper rear end ratio, and are about the same weight as the Mustang.
Oh, the 350 HP GTO's also don't beat Mustang GT's
400 HP GTO's only......................
have you ever ran with any LS1 f-bodies? dude l am serious those cars are no JOKE! with a good driver people have seen those cars ran 13 flat! general timeslip is 13.1- 13.2-13.3 but when you look at the new stang GT with a good driver we ran mid 13s but general timeslips are 13.8-13.9-14ish..
a 98-00 FBODY puts down 295-300RWHP. and 01-02 FBODY puts down 310-315RWHP!! weights even a little less than new stangs.. now tell me whatelese you want me to tell you? unless it is a ccrappy driver, f-bodies SADLY will be beat us! forget about their rear end ratio, even if you put 2-3 cars off the line, those cars will catch and pull hard! they are called highway monsters.. from a roll they are very good.. from a dig they are allright! most of them has 3.23- 3.73 gears.
I've beat them and I personaly know by experience. Sorry, but I know that the F-body couldn't beat me. I wish I had a stamp to put on the side of my Mustang everytime I raced one, I would have a full fender.
I actually wasn't going to touch this thread with a 10 foot pole, but for the guy that said he went to a GTO board and they were all running 14's. www.ls1gto.com Here is the top times for the '05 - '06 BONE STOCK street tire. They also don't let you post your time without a timeslip and/or video.
Yes, that would be me. I think that you need to go back and check out the 1/4 mile board again. A lot of your boys said they were dissapointed and I do believe that one of them said that 14 seconds was the norm for a stock GTO. Go ahead, put some drag radials on it or maybe even some slicks, see how long it takes you to break your axle shafts in the back. Can't tell me it doesn't happen, too many times have I heard that they are tired of people bringing them in and trying to get them to warranty the axles. You may have guys running consistant low 13's or even high 12's, but that doesn't answer the 100 hp question.....why only .3-.5 tenths faster. Go for it!

Let me go out on a huge limb here: you don't actually have any timeslips, do you? If you did, you would be singing a very different tune.
