GSM. These slicks work quite a bit better than street tires according to Dv8.

Unless you're running on shaved down Nitto NT01's, bfg street radials or the select few SR's out there, that statement is BS.
I along with Dv8 have the most run's down the 1/4 mile in the legend no doubt. He will tell you from experience running the slicks and I can tell you the same after making 60' comparisons. The slicks will get you out of the hole significantly better and in the 1/4 mile, that is what make's all the difference. You should know this shit.
i dont think he said anything about slicks not being better then street tires.. i think he was saying that drag radials which are street legal tires arent that much better then normal high performance tires.
