The biggest ET killer on the classic stangs is the suspension, mostly the rear.

Right now for the street I am just running adjustable air shocks and traction bars which seem to work well on the street, but if I were to take it to the track I would definately need slicks or drag radials, especially when I get the 4.11's in it..
