THAT SAID...I offered friendly advice along the lines of his question.
THAT SAID...I have more experience than you do in the Class.
THAT SAID...Your Chevelle has an entirely different suspension than the Firebird in question and was not a even a Class car as the OP was asking about.
THAT SAID...He didn't ask about your OLD Chevelle. I'll bet he already knows about it!
THAT SAID...We get it. You don't!
THAT SAID...Go back to the mirror and repeat..."I'm wonderful, I'm special, and by-goly. I want the world to know"

correction, he asked for opinions and all that replied gave theirs.
Sure, we all know you have options that you feel everybody needs to hear, time after time...But, he asked about slicks on his Gen 1 Firebird which uses a leaf spring. Much different than a Chevelle.
he also said that a year ago when he signed on. The fact is his car is a bracket car and he a bracket racer!
Nice to know you keep a dosier on everybody here. But I can't see that it's relevant that a year ago he said he wanted to move into Class racing his Firebird and he has not made the move (yet). Is the fact he hasn't made the transition (yet) make his questions irrelevant? It appears to me you are quite sure he will never make the move. But either way, that's his dream and if so, good for him. At least he has set some goals.
so did everyone that replied

don't matter, his is NOT a class car!
and your super stock amx isn't this firebird that is a bracket car!
I have both Stock & Super Stock numbers. But it does have a leaf spring suspension with Calvert bars like the OP. And again, he is stating he wants to make the car a Class car.
he asked about running radial slicks on a bracket car!
And I made comments to both radials and bias slicks. Did you miss that? As I'm not his sponsor and do not plan on sending him slicks to try, it's the OP's decision to make. That's why he asked for advice or opinions, whichever.
it's obvious that's it YOU that don't get it
Coming from a guy that doesn't have a Class car, posts on Class Racer about Class cars, bemoans those that race class cars and continuously takes every opportunity to brag about a bracket car he know longer even posseses and constantly insists there is something uniquly special and superior of his Gen 4 Firebird in comparison to Class racers rides, no, I guess I don't get it!

this coming from the guy that self proclaims to be..."Arizona's BEST Realtor" :rolleyes:

Radials usually don't recover from tire spin and most stick cars are capable of spinning bias slicks.
