Hard to tell but looks like 60mph?

 

Also not his first mishap.

 

Needs to never be allowed to drive again.

There’s something wrong with that guy. Others have mentioned it. Like he’s not right in mind or something, even though he has money. It’s kind of sad tbh

So my mustang doesnt hook in 1st 2nd and third with the 315 Continental extreme tires. Anymore have a road legal tire that I can hook with?

I’d complain but sexual abuse of automotive tires is probably legal.   The old school solution used to be a set of moonie slicks with a single groove carved in the center to make them street legal.  The cheap solution is instead of trying to increase the friction coefficient of the tires increase the friction coefficient of the road surface.  That’s why people do burn outs.  To lay a layer of hot rubber on the tarmac to hook to.

Cant do burnouts on the street each time I want to do a pull lol. I was thinking maybe going with a street radial or a set of Michelin Cup 2 tires.

DW or DWS? I don't know if the Dunlop Z3 comes in that size but the Z2's were amazingly sticky with impressive life for my Celica, the Z3 has even better grip and supposedly an equally as good life span.

I need something that can hook with around 700rwhp and about 550 rwtq Ill look into those but I honestly never looked into Dunlop tires before.

It's also going to depend, heavily as you'll find out, on road conditions and tire temps. Cold tires on a cool day on a cool road won't hook, nor will damp days, nor will roads with any rough surface like cracks or sand or gravel on them, etc etc. Pick your battles so you don't break your stuff, the fastest car is the one that wins.

I only take the car out when its suny say around 60 or higher outside. I dont really do pulls from a dead stop usually from 20-30 mph pulls I would like to get more traction with. Right now I only have a rear sub frame support and lower springs on the stock GT performance pack suspension with upgraded rear end links. I want to upgrade to a full coilover kit and poly bushings in the future.

Doubt theres a street legal tyre out there thatd help all that much tbh

Probably be more effective to limit boost by gear

RE-71R’s are the stickiest road tire I know of that you can still take corners with and have a chance in the rain

 

i know for sure they have a lot more grip than your Conti’s but they also don’t last very long

[Ae86]

Not a good pic of my car but heres my daily. I have a few mods planned for the future but its currently going to remain stock.

 

(Planned mods: straight pipe or butterfly valve after the downpipe, dpf delete and 8spd trans swap.)

 

Been ages since last time i posted here...

It doesn't get taken out in the rain, not worried how long they last as I only expect to put about 5k miles on it a year.

It's Whipple charged with their stage 2 kit, 132mm throttle body.some suspension bits, rims and tires. Bigger rotors with the stock performance pack brembos. Corsa catback. 3.73 rear gears with a torsen limited slip diff. I still didn't get the specifics from the dealership so I can really only go off what the dealership had listed.

Being my first post in the thread was my summertime 4-wheeled ride.  This time it will be a pair of the 2-wheeled variety waiting for the weather to get nicer.  2006 Ducati 749 and a 2007 Ducati Sportclassic.  Hanging out in the dinning room from their winter slumber.

Very nice two super fun rides right there!

Those are the good weather only motorcycles.  Moved them into the house so I could do some cleaning and shelf building in the garage over the winter.  Never happened, it's about warm enough to move them back out and the garage really makes me look more of a packrat than I truly am.  This is the all weather bike though.  2016 Multistrada pikes peak.

if you can do a pull, you surely can do a burnout

MV Agusta F3? 
One hell of a bike that is... glorious 3 cylinder engine

[Bombastinator]

I’m not sure an all weather bike should even a thing.  Riding a bike in the rain often requires a neoprene wetsuit.  Not to protect against wetness but because running into raindrops hurts and the foam helps a bit.

More so I dont want to stop and do a burn out on public roads. Attracts too much attention etc.

I love my Multi Enduro! The multi is a beast all around all weather bike! I've ridden in rain sleet, heat! A big thing is riding gear.
