Maybe some drag radials on some wide azz wheels along with a good driver will result in better times. Though there's only one person on here determined to make their 370Z a drag racing car and GT-R's are no where near having any nightmares yet
There's a lot that goes into traction beyond just bolting on wider tires.

that's because you added the trailer home mod to your corvette. it's tough to corner with a mobile home on the back.

What are these "traction problems" you speak of? Must be a middle class issue
