The FIRST dragstrip pass that I saw from a Camaro ZL1 A10 on the stock tires handily beat EVERY Hellcat time on street tires that I have ever seen here.

I'll add to that and say, it is not only the tires, but the chassis. A good chassis and suspension geometry does wonders for traction.

When I was younger, it was all about adding stickier tires, stiffer suspension, more HP. It wasn't until much later that I realized it's what you can't see that makes the biggest differences. Chassis design, bushing selections, alignment specs, suspension geometry.
