I am not at all familiar with tire slip rated in a percentage. Can you explain the theory behind this and how it is measured and/or calculated etc. I guess I always figured tires either hooked up or broke loose, not much else in between. I am interested in learning more about this. You talk about this being at wide open throttle in top gear, but at what RPM? I would think that there would be zero tire slipage once the revs are at/near the red line.
By the way, it didn't take me very long to figure out that the throttle in my Cobra couldn't be treated as an on/off switch, especially in first or second gear. I was also very happy that I had a rev. limiter while I was learning this lesson.
