Cars with any good amount of power will find 1st gear almost useless with street radials. Got to have sticky tires even on the street. Drag radials is a must on the street for my Corvette.

You don't want to gear a car so that when you get to the track you can't 60' due to too tall gearing when set up right with stickys. Get the right gearing for the car even if you can't hold traction on the street on street radials.
