Cleaning the MAF and new spark plugs will not make your car go faster. If you want small HP gains get a plenum spacer, pop-charger, exhaust, y-pipe, etc. If you don't like those suggestions go buy a Ford Pinto if you can find one they used to run like raped apes............ LOL
You are righ, I really do love my car, I have fun with it, I just dont like pple, lik e the STi's owners, making fun of me! Makes me furious!
Oh, well, I think, I will buy a spacer, a pop charger and maybe a bottle of NOS just to have fun at the track, this is my daily use car, so I just wanna have fun at the track, but not be always with a monster car driving it to everywhere, like I do with my car. What do you think!?

It's not a big deal man, just need to practice. However, a couple questions to ask:
1) How much do those 19's weigh? More than stock most likely, so you added weight there maybe .
2) What tires are you using, and what was your tire pressure at?
3) How much gas was in your tank?
Also after some practice you will do better. Work on getting off the line, and your shift points. It's not a bad time by the way.

Yup, cheapest and easiest mods are take out the spare and tools, take out the passanger seat (4 bolts) and run on stockers. That right there will get you some time back. Your weight is also a consideration. I have seen some BIG people get out of Z's. Your also in an N/A auto, you should consider switching your pumpkin. Another cheap/easy mod. That alone should get your times down signifigantly.

The STI's would have to be modded in order for those cars to run those times. Thats a turbo upgrade/intercooler, injectors,fuel pump,down pipe, exhaust, and a tune to get those low numbers. thats like dumping another 8k into a 30k car. *shakes head*
all you get are praises from the guys for going fast while the ladies are hangin around the 350 that are rollin on dubs!

if you didn't know the car was going to do those mubers when you bought it, you didn't do your research... 20's at the track may also be a problem. get some 16 or 17's w/ drag radials maybe. and then learn to lauch. automatic also make sure the tcs is off!

ok, you did not list your 60ft time, trap... 8th... , hell even humidity% and baro. <so really no one can knows anything.
you really need to give more information but without anything I am almost 99% sure it is because you cannot drive. <this could just be inexperience at the strip because it is completely different from being able to drive on the street, it needs practice. if this was your first time, horrible e.t.s are normal... not being mean, I sucked my first times... and still do
but that time dosen't seem normal for an average driven Z (passable skills).

What do you think!?dude...if your so obssesed with your times throw on a turbo or SC. If you dont wanna spend the money on that and want a fast straight line buy a used vette or cobra.
As for Sti owners making fun of you....be a man and tell them that you can respect there cars speed.....then fk his girl because you know she wants you and the Z.
