> Problem with radials is you need to reduce the rim diameter and maintain tire height to get some sidewall…thats key. If you stick with the factory sidewall you usually wind up with a tire too stiff to hook.

Totally agreed and understandable, but the Vette would blow off M/T Drag Radials from a 70 roll on fresh pavement on a 85 degree day. Looking back, a lot of it was suspension, but the C5 platform just does not hook well in general.
