I wouldn't say they feel slick in corners, but I was expecting more traction then they are giving. My car came with the Conti's, so the F1's are an improvement. But I have nothing to compare it against. This is my first powerful RWD car so I have no idea what to expect from it performance wise and have never driven another SRT6. I did put these on back in May and have put quite a few miles on them, so I really don't remember how they felt in the beginning. Only that they hooked up better than the Conti's.

I figure that either the humidity here is really killing my performance or I have a weaker motor than most. GatorLCA posted in
this thread that he ran a 13.078 @ 107.97 with a 1.999 60' on all-season tires. That's with just a Needswings CAI and cooling mods. That was at Bradenton Motorsports Park, so maybe the prep the track better? Or I need to upgrade my cooling. Regardless, I need to practice some more. I do feel the tires spinning just a bit when I take off. My launches could definitely be smoother.
