I had them on my 1966 Hemi Coronet. They were MTs and hooked well on that 10 second car but bad in the rain. Corvettes are SPORTS cars not designed for 1/4 mile drag racing but rather road courses type racing. The independent rear suspension is weak and with more power and lots of traction you begin to break rear ends. Extra power with limited traction (a lot of wheel spin) your rear end will survive. So if you have a lot of power you need to learn how to soft launch. I would stay with regular radials or at best Avons or similar.
