Thing is you can't have a setup good for track and drag. | |

Cheers everyone for the ideas. Really thinking that need to stick and get the slicks not keen on r888r had some and didn't do me much good. I've seen a green corsa 3.0v6 with slicks and that launch is unreal. Just wish I knew his set up? I'm sure it will be similar to Jed d. (Nice b there mate like that) . I really wanna keep v6 brakes as I'm planning to do a lot of tracks as well as drags. | |

888s are crap for drag use , there a track tyre so have a hard sidewall , not what you want for drag use | |

Ideally I would go with 23-8-13 fitted to a banded wheel (band on the outside of the wheel) they will fit in the wheel arch fine with no work needed, only thing is there for a 13 inch wheel so you would need to change brakes for them to fit | |

What power are you at , your problem will be to find some tha fit over your brakes , drag tyres need a big sidewall to enable them to grip and have some give still | |
