went to raceway park last night and had alot of fun but i was dissappointed with my times....heres the best 3 of the night out of 7 runs

RedBullRR · 05-01-2008, 11:04 AM

That's pretty good or an auto isnt it?

choose8 · 05-01-2008, 11:09 AM

yea its an auto....i ran the same time last year in 75degree weather

I could only power brake it around 2000rpms because when i tryed near 3000 the car started to go sideways. Im going to try and go next week and see if I can get any better becasue the tires only have 200miles on them and my intake is brown and has chunks of stuff all over it(ill post some pictures of that tomorrow)

Nice times. Are you on your stock wheels?

Jersey Joe · 05-01-2008, 02:22 PM

how did you get 7 runs? i thought i was done after my card got punched 3 times? I was the one in the silver 07 doing peglegged launches btw haha

choose8 · 05-01-2008, 02:34 PM

3 is the minimum you get if you show up before 6 and the just keep punching random spots after that.....im not on my stock wheels i got 255/275/18s toyo t1rs but they arent even broken in yet(only 200miles)

I don't know anything about the automatic but I think that the times are OK.

JonsilvZ · 05-01-2008, 04:00 PM

The big tires are slowing you down!

ajcool2 · 05-02-2008, 08:12 AM

Yeah when I put my 19's on I was running constant 13.9's. They added exactly .1 to my times.

choose8 · 05-02-2008, 09:28 AM

i was thinking it might be the new wheels but they weigh the same maybe a pound more compared to stock

tranceformer95 · 05-02-2008, 05:18 PM

It was nice meeting a fellow 350z guy at the track.

The best I could do that night was 14.2@98 w/ 2.2 60' time, I ran that a few times. I know, I'm working on it!!

My 19" wheels are about 6-7lbs heavier than stock and the best I could run with them is 14.4@97mph, compared to my best time on stock wheels which is in my sig. So in my case I lost .5 sec and 3mph. That's a drastic drop off.

Anyway, I would think 13.9 is a great time for an Auto Z. I know you have a few boltons but I think your trap is good and you're running better than 90% of auto Zs I see out there.

I usually torque it to about 2200 and i never take out my brake light fuse. I've gotten back to back 2.0 60's stock.
