There is a whole class of cars (275 class) that manage to put well over 1100hp to the tires on a 275 radial dipping into the high 4 second 1/8th mile times.

Slicks are NOT needed to go fast. I've said it a million times, it's about a proper set up.

Those guys in the 275 class are driving manuals at that power level? I can probably cut 1.7-1.9 with better shocks and struts with DR but with slicks I can cut 1.3-1.5 which is a big difference.

With a big power stick car, the car is much more unsettled going down the track making it more of a challenge to ET well. A well running auto car is nothing more than just point and shoot. Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
