+1 they do. I had a set on my old rims, greasy tires for sure. If you have 150 passes under your belt then really you need to ask for advice? running a RWD isn't that much harder and after a few passes you should figure out the launch part.

you need better tires to get your quicker times. you will not be able to leave hard and will have to toy with controlling wheel spin to get anything decent.

The III's don't (although at the strip they aren't very good, but most street tires aren't.) I replaced my BFG g-Force KD tires with a set of III's as a "garbage" set on the Mach (BBS RK rims) to use them up on some road rallies and possible auto-x events. The III's are MUCH better than the KD's (though not as good as my Pilot Sport 3s on my other car.) They have exceeded my expectations so much that I might purchase again.

That being stated, with 01bullitt listing a size 315/35/17, I assume those are the HTR Zs, and those (as I have been told and others have addressed above) can be a bit "slippery."

Keep us posted . . .

I run Dunlop star specs. great grippy tire for the street but still would use a drag radial or slicks. street tires suck at the strip.
