I know a number of guys with modified Mercedes SL65 AMG and other 600 series V12 twin turbos Mercedes in the 700 HP range that use the 17" wheel size Mickey Thompson ET street drag radials. Most of them knock of 1.5 60ft times with the well over 4000 lb race weight. The computer in the car does the hard part, but they are still moving out with 1.5 60ft times.
I also know a couple guys with 1000+ HP twin turbo Vipers that use the low profile drag radials on their cars. They stick like glue in the roll, but require some talent to launch.
