uh... maybe you shouldn't be working for your car. don't dump all your money into it at once. be sure to save some cause the car can be taken away from you in an instant and all your invested money will be wasted. The nitto drag radials won't even come close to hooking up a 500hp car. They have a hard time hooking up a full bolt on GT with 4.10's. Even Mickey Thompson ET street radials won't hook up on the street. You have to get them nice and hot on a sticky surface to really hook. My buddies SS Camaro puts out 375 rwhp with the stock 3.23 gear, and he spins 1st and 2nd on the street. At the track once heated up, he cuts 1.6x 60fts. The Mickey Thompson ET streets will hook better than Nitto's or BFG's on the street, but they still will not dead hook under normal driving conditions. So if you want the best dry street traction, and no wet/rain weather traction then the M/T ET streets are your tire. Then you have to consider how much you drive your car because they will only last you about 5,000 miles, and they usually go for around $200 a tire depending on what size you go with. Your driving habits will also have to be altered with that kind of power. You're not going to be able to floor it all the time because you'll either get sideways really easy, or be 1 block further in a few seconds. I know that when I drove my buddy's Camaro, I went from 35 miles per hour to 70 miles per hour in about 2-3 seconds.
