The Mickey Thompson is the preffered drag radial for many, many muscle car enthusiats........I used to have a pair for my old 5.0L Mustang. They are the softest DR out there and will wear out very fast if you run them on the street...but they are very, very grippy.....if it's for track use only, then they'll last quite a long time. The Nitto's tend to be a little harder and are more suited for the street........so it all depends on how you drive and what you want out of them really.
