[QUOTE="CCO, post: 23231, member: 970"] I've not drag raced per se in my 'vette but I can say from experience that it'll spin the tires very easily with its abundance of torque. To my mind, with the OEM street tires, you'd have to feather the gas very carefully out of the hole and for at least a short distance to avoid any excessive wheelspin. Some practice on a lonely road would probably help you get some feel for what to do. I'm thinking you already know that too much wheelspin = slow times so avoiding it is a must for great times. I know that some racers invest in good track tires such as Drag Radials to help with this but that of course means a bigger $ investment AND space to carry the tires. (all but impossible in a 'vette I would say) I'm sure someone will chime in with their first hand experience but I'd bet that their initial rpm is quite low with street tires. G/L with your races. C.
