You probably won't need slicks unless your ride is pounding out 400+ HP. Drag radials will do you just fine and lowsky is correct. You only need them for the drive tires.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Slicks will be stickier and softer, but the liklihood of needing that kind of grip with as little torque as the car makes is virtually 0 like they said, in which case drag radials, which are less expensive would be a better option.
