I ran hoosiers on the GTB car I had and won 4 sets that year. Awesome to deal with. Fax in your results and the form and a few days later you get brand new slicks delivered to your door. Pretty awesome. Just pay the shipping. They were always quick and very easy to deal with.

I think we should qualify not only the car, engine location, weight etc but also the length of track when people are speaking of time differences. +/- a second on a 1min track vs a 2 min track is worth knowing.
I've used Nitto Nt01, A6, R6, and the R80(front and rear) on a 2700lb 951 (approx 300whp). On a short 1 min track I was able to gain 2 seconds going from Nitto Nt01s to the R80s. On a 1.45 track the difference is probably greater but I don't have hard data just yet. Too many car changes inbetween.

Well, I got a set of both now and will be at 1:40 track that is very much tire demanding, so this will give me an idea of how these compare (Hoosier Slick vs A6).

Hey,

I just saw your post, I ran many many sets of the slicks and found them to be faster then the A6s ONCE HOT which can take a couple laps, keep that in mind in a TT environment. The slicks will hold out a 45 min session no problem without falling off while the A6s will fall off after like 5 laps. The A's will last you a full session without over heating but be as slow as an R6 after the initial 5 laps.

I'd like to know the results of this test.

Slantnose!

Me too.

Thanks Victor (can't wait to see the car here).

I will share once I'm done. Although keep in mind this will be a brand new car to me, so I'm not sure how much of the improvement will be tire and how much familiarity/practice with the car. However, I plan on trying this more than once around the SE tracks to get some data (think CMP, VIR, RA, NCCAR, RRR).

Wanna911 and Mr Lisner - you gentlemen are pretty local so I expect some beers in return!
