You know the more power you make the harder it is to hook right? So if you put say a BFG 17" or Nitto 17" drag radial on this car it would probably cut 1.8s....
I would say hooking a 1.6/1.5 on a 152mph car with a 17" drag radial is pretty impressive.
Nice record btw...
You gotta be more descriptive though.. Like add 18" wheels to it, because I am pretty sure CTRacer911's WRX that went 11.9@116 was both quicker and faster then your WRX... but he was on a 2.0 not 2.5.. So maybe add that in too

So what other 17" DOT tire has gone 9s on a EVO/STI?

I also know of multiple people cutting low 1.5's on the BFG's.
In my opinion, the BFG drag radial is a real DOT tire.....something that can actually be driven on the street and still cut low 1.5's at the track. The Hoosier drag radial is just a slick tire with a couple grooves in it to get the DOT seal of approval. But its a tire that has been recommended to never take on the street.
This thread is yet another example of a tire that is not performing up to what it was claimed to do.

That's not really a fair assessment. You have to give people time to get their cars dialed in and get a good 60ft. I mean, geez, these tires have only been out for 5 months now......
Daniel Buschur's Red Evo went 9.8@148 a few years ago on a set of 17" BFG drag radials. I'm sure there are more too, but he's the first one to come to my mind.

You never have anything positive to contribute to these threads, always some criticism or BS. This guy just went 9.6@152 on Drag Radials, your daddy Buschur whom you love so much went what 9.5s on hoosier 16in dots?

Daddy Buschur's RS went 9.77@148 on a set of Toyo R888 street tires.
I don't think I was really out of line.....JuniorAWD asked what other DOT tires have gone 9's on a Evo/STI. BFG drag radials and Toyo R888's were my answers.
