It's a lot harder to get a stock honda that ran 16s off the showroom floor into the 13s than it is to buy a c6 and run 12s off the showroom floor.

On average, a tenth of a second in the QUARTERMILE is about a car length. Switching from street tires to slicks will save you a HALF SECOND in the 60' on average.

As I've said before, Smacked's street tires aren't even as good as the ones I use, so I'd guess that the defecit would be even bigger.

Really, there's no way to know unless he's got passes on slicks & street tires to compare. Some setups hook better on street tires than others. Some drivers can't extract the full potential of their slicks. Does he have slips to compare streets vs. slicks?

Sometimes the outcome is surprising. Once, I ran my car on 225/50/15 tires at the track and ran slower than I did on my 195/60/15 tires. The 225 tires were a stickier compound, wider, on lighter wheels, etc. So why did I run slower? The rules of thumb aren't absolutes. The only way to ever KNOW something is to have done it for yourself.

Well it certainly requires more grease under your fingernails than popping down 40-50 large at the dealership.
