slicks on a stock 350z… better launch at redline and hope the clutch holds.  
94gt5.0 has some used up ET Drags, 28 x 10.50 i think… wont fit well, but there you go.

Well i went to the track and it didnt turn out that good tires were spining 1st 2nd and 3rd. so the 2nd pass i did i launched aroung 2500 and the tires still were spining bad so the 3rd time i didnt launch and first gear i didnt really floor it but when i did they still were spining. so thats the problem im faceing and im trying to learn the track i suck at it people were telling me to get slicks and keep trying to learn.

I think you just need drag radials anyway. Slicks are probably too much for a stock car.

Learn how to drive with street tires…

Slicks will grab like a bitch and i woudlent be suprised if the car bogged like a SOB and fucked your times up even worse then if you learned to feather the throttle…

did you warm up the tires before the run?

and if I remember right his car is stock or pretty close to it. Drag radials are probably the best bet for his car.

I’m just saying…

If your getting off the throttle a lot… then getting back in with your foor mashed it jerks the car and it will spin…

In first theres not much your going to do there as the rpm range comes up really quick… but when you hit 2nd and it spins just let off the gas a bit let it grab and get back on it… and so on
