I ran 11's with less than 400whp that would be easy at your power levels.

There is a STICKY race track locator at the top of this page btw

It depends on traction and how good you are with the clutch. I know experienced guys launching at 5k plus on a good track and good skills.

You are using a road race tire for drag racing. If you are serious about putting down some good times, you should get another set of wheels/tires for the rear.

Post a slip. That is a horrible trap for the power level. We need more details to help you out!

I will not criticise your time. You are new at drag racing. I am sure that you gave it your best. We have plenty of 477 horsepower dyno queens here who could not run 13.4 seconds if their life depended on it.

350z-900whp · 05-18-2008, 10:08 PM

my time slip

Alberto · 05-18-2008, 10:12 PM

no u don't have to :P

Alberto · 05-18-2008, 10:21 PM

OK, well you know the 60ft needs work

What pressure in tires?

Did you do a quick spin of the tires after going AROUND the water box?

Did you shift at redline?

You need to be your worst critic. Thats how I got better at driving Id critique myself until I felt I couldnt possibly shift any faster. Get back out and run better times they wont get worst than your first time
