With my old 383, I too was breaking the tires away at all sorts of speed dependant on the temp and road surface. Believe it or not, the car was actually safer when I drove around on my ET streets, they grabbed so much better and you just went straight and hard after a small initial wheel scrub. I recommend you invest in them.... drag radials will also help, but, they too can and will spin hard. The advantage to the ET streets is the recovery is so much quicker than drag radials.

The true joy of spending all of this money on power as many of us do is the "acceleration", and you might not ever get to truly experience your motors true performance without a set of sticky's. I highly recommend them. Not to mention, you'll et wayyyy quicker at the track as well.


The temp was 38 degrees, two different road surfaces, concrete and black top. Both in good condition. Yes it does exist in NJ.

I'll start looking at the ET Streets, rims, and tires I guess. I would really love to keep the stock rims...I am concerned that may not be realistic for two reasons.

1.width
2. Diameter...won't fit C5 brakes.
