excuses excuses, we all know what those are like..... and you know, it does not take a whole lot to get a rev-up into the 13's.....

 

Haha, you willing to prove it? Perhaps this Friday?

 

lets run em Chris.....hell i am game....my car is bone *** stock

 

Suggestion, don't use Bone and *** together, sounds a little ghey.

 

 

Werd, mine's been called a factory freak

 

i would take the 06 lights over the 03-05 anyday

 

03 is th best kept secret out there besides the weight issue.

 

03 track ftw

 

dam your 1/4 is..frickin quick..how did you manage?

 

Do explain, do explain...

 

so i only took a minute to google this, but i saw a bunch of different test times for '03s and '06s. '06s ranged from 5.8 to 5.6 0-60 and '03s were from 5.7 to 5.4. A few articles discussed the whole weight increase issue over the '03s and the increased horsepower, indicating that it wasn't faster, but also that it wasn't any slower. i have no idea which one is really fastest, but it would actually be a pretty sick race to see an '03 track vs. '06 track. regardless of the victor, i'll take improvements of the '06 anyday. just my 2 cents

 

What i seem to notice is that most of the 06 owners tend to think that the 06 models are faster due to the increase in HP (they forgot they lose torque). However i dont see too many of em runing below 14s in the 1/4. Infact i havent seen/read any run below 14s (100% bone stock)
But like alberto said any Z year (03-06) it's a drivers race.

If you're being sarcastic, let's see your timeslips.

If you're being serious, there are a lot faster times than mine, granted they're on slicks/drag radials with lots of mods and with much better conditions. Check the drag racing forums.

edit - I just realized that you were in TX. So, if you're asking how I managed those times in our sh1tty TX weather with street tires... I guess I just practiced (been to the drag strip a total of 5 times, I think).

 

Where do you get the 1.21 jigowatts to do that?

 

The 2003 Touring model had a curb weight of 3239.

The 2003 Touring model had a curb weight of 3380.

Both of those with 5AT so the same engine and horsepower.

 

I don't know anything about drag racing...so my comment was pure thumbs up. How did you do your first time at the track? (I'm looking for a idea of what to expect if I ever go someday)

 

I believe that there are certain "freak Z's" though. What years? I don't know. I have an early 03 and when dynoed at AAM during their bbq, I put down similar if not slightly higher numbers than more modded Z's on that same day. And all I had on the car was an AEM intake and a Greddy Evo Exhaust, and I put it on the dyno with the 20's.

 

proof that 03 Zs are the fastest

Having owned both an 03 and now an 06, I felt no significant difference between the two.
