Fiancee makes a few passes in my car - If you don't care about my F-Body don't click

S8ER95Z · 05-12-2008, 10:21 AM

We had a track rental on Saturday and the Fiancee said she wanted to take the car down the track (since she has never ran on a track before in her life). Only 19 cars ended up coming due to the threat of rain so she felt comfortable making some passes.

Well....she made 27 passes

my clutch (Factory Clutch with 84K on it) has finally given up on me but she did rather well..

I hopped in it after her 15th pass, lined up...rolled the rpms up to 2200 rpm and let out .... RPMs shot up and I didn't move... (3.3 60ft for the win!!!)..haha... I was only able to get a 13.2 out of it on a 2.0x 60ft and my MPH was 104 ~ 105 with noticable slippage just before my shifts launching from near idle. I made only a handfull of passes before handing the keys back over and letting her enjoy what was left of the clutch.

She got a few 106mph traps right when she first started but by the end of the day they were 104~105 (too much abuse? the hotlapping? the 89 octane?? who knows) but she did manage a nice 1.99 60ft which further proves I have no driving talent..haha.

Any ways just thought I would share, I am putting a new clutch in shortly (LS6 clutch came with it from the factory and that's what is going back in), and doing some suspension mods next weekend (1LE springs) so I am losing stock status. It was definately a blast trying to get the best out it that I could, but I guess it's time to toss on a lid and the springs and see what happens.

Nice to meet you.

skaterbasist · 05-12-2008, 12:28 PM

^^ Lmao!

Your GF is an excellent driver. 1.99 60 ft's are nothing easy to do on stock tires.

S8ER95Z,

Did you ever own a Z or plan on buying one?

98BirdLS1 · 05-12-2008, 07:16 PM

ECU should be pulling major timing running 89 octane, decent times considering. And how did your car come with an LS6 clutch from the factory?

Nice. My wife likes to race too, but hasn't since around our 3rd child.

We use to race heads up, Maxima SE versus SHO, and she was good enough to beat all of the other Maxima guys with a stock Maxima, while they had mods.

Can't believe how long ago that was.

j.arnaldo · 05-13-2008, 12:30 PM

89-octane gas, dude?! No pinging, knocking or dieseling??? So, I'm NOT the only one, huh?! Great!!!

Well...I can't say I currently 'intend' on buying one but I certainly wouldn't mind having one. I signed up right when these came out because I'm a car guy and I was checking them out. Definately learned a lot.

I was in transition for a while with an 05 Pontiac G5 (got it in Oct 04' wanted it gone by november 04..haha)...and wasn't sure what I was going to get.. then I found my 01 Z28 for a steal and picked it up.

I know some guys don't like 'others' on their board but I hope that I have not made myself unwelcome?

j.arnaldo,

The gas station wanted 4 something a gallon and the fiancee just threw in the cheap stuff.. didn't have much of a choice in the matter.. on hot days I can hear nasty pinging while above 4500rpm...but it was nice and cool and I don't recall hearing anything near redline so I don't think it was killing me at all. (never had a helmet on when I heard the pinging so maybe I just couldn't hear it? or it just wasn't bad)

98BirdLS1,

2001+ cars came with the LS6 Intake and Z06 Clutch (LS6)

13.1 not bad for bone stock...There is some time it in for sure. Its a lot of fun to hit 12's in those cars in bone stock trim. Cant wait to get my car out and improve on my measly 13.79

VeeTec · 05-14-2008, 02:37 PM

Yes, run a 12.9 already would ya.

Alberto · 05-14-2008, 02:57 PM

Thats awesome. It was cool seeing my GF take her Z down the track at our track day. She cut better 60ft's than most of the guys!

Concave · 05-14-2008, 04:54 PM

wait.. am i reading 89 octane in this thread?

edit: i see.. Z28, nice!

Nic@CiNcity · 05-14-2008, 05:05 PM

That's awesome!
