I have those tires on my A-Molds and really liked them until I took them of when upgrading to 18" Shelby Rims. They hooked like glue, but I didn't consider them a drag radial. As I read up on them it seemed to me they were designed to be a street tired intended for occasional track use, as in a road course rather than drag strip. It is cool to know how well they perform on a drag strip. One reason I went with them though was after reading a thread in which a C6 Z06 owner was launching on the NT-05's and his half shaft twisted into pieces due to them hooking so hard.
