Alright, I'll be making my first trip to the strip to see how my 06 GT does. I'll be running it on street tires (20s at that) so I'm not looking for AMAZING times, but more or less just looking to have some fun, if I like it, I'll get a set of 17s on drag radials. Now to my questions:
1. On a full on street tire (they are 275/35 Falken FK452s on 20s), how should I launch the car, it's a 5spd?
2. Should I leave the N2O off, or will a 75 shot be fine with stock motor and trans?
3. The car is my DD and I'm in college, so I don't want to do this if it will tear up the car and need repairs. What are the weak points in these cars that are prone to breakage?
4. What safety equipment is needed? Just a helmet? Or a full on racing suit?
5. Since it's my first time, I know I'm missing info that I need to know, so ANY advice you can throw my way would be GREATLY appreciated! Be it car related or driving advice!
