    Agreed! Bloody quick! What tyres as they obviously grip well! My cars have never cracked a sub 2.0 60ft, though I hope to whenever I end up going next with some MTs.

    I too am running the ATR SPORTS and have a 1.9 60 footer.. For a cheaper tyre, they grip up really well...

    Dave (tre-cool) also ran them on his VE to a get a 10s pass - so they can't be too bad!

    there are a surprisingly good tire for the price, they get real sticky on the dyno after a couple of pulls too.

    my ve is retired from racing now, it's going back to stock to be sold. got 2 dedicated drag cars to finish off.
    It's happened before, It will all happen again.

    I have them on my ute and reckon they are great for the money.

    Rick Crawford, a tuner in the states who does a lot of work on G8s went 10.59 NA last week. He is a big advocate of small cams and has done a lot of R&D on l92 heads. Think his current one is around 223/231.

    Dave, were you running the older ATR sports or the Sport 2?
    Looking forward to a night with a bit cooler air too, would be magic to see the mph in the 112`s

    same motor is going into a ve dragcar shell, just not made my mind up on keeping it blown or going turbo's. have told my brother that if he builds a 402 for his ve, he can use my blower. (car is at my place anyway, so i can drive it. hehe)

    Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base. - Part 1

    Finally got my lazy ass to the test and tune today at Eastern Creek.

    Ran a best of 12.763@113mph, pretty happy with the result since I haven't drag raced for nearly 10 years and its my first time racing a manual.

    Car specs are;
    Full weight 2008 VE SSV M6
    VCM OTR, 214/225 cam, headers, cats and a 2.5 inch cat back with stock rear cans, 10% UDP, everything else stock including clutch.
    Bridgestone Potenza 245/40/19 tyres.

    Should also add the car has XA coilovers.

    +1

    In my reading on reviews on them they're not generally regarded as a good performance tyre, but I guess stickiness for drags and performance are two different things?
