Your style sucks, I think you need some more lessons.

guess you forgot about the kid in Houston who found the maximum amount of torsional rigidity by smacking a tree and suddenly owing a 2 piece 350Z, yes please be a street racer and make sure you have plenty of insurance and a faith in God, so that if you leave children or family they have some cash to plant your stOOpid A$$, or if you are unfortunate for us to live maybe you will have time in prison to pray to the God of your choice for forgiveness....especially if steal another stOOpid life in your 20 seconds of shame

You must be implying that the two fastest 350Z's on this forum require no driver skill then. Afterall, they are automatics.

I was implying no such thing. Don't put words in my mouth. Thanks.

If you must know my thoughts on drag racing (since you're referring to the two fastest straight line Z's), the average drag racer is not a skilled driver... regardless of the transmission. Even if you have near perfect reaction times with solid 60ft's, there is much more to being a skilled driver. Ok, so you can handle 600hp in a straight line. I'm so impressed with those mad skills.

I won't say much, but your first mistake was not leaving it in drive. If you want the best drag times for your AT Z all you need is to minimize wheel spin (traction loss), and shift at the optimal times (which drive mode automatically does or you when floored).

All i can say is dont use manual mode when drag racing, if you bounce off the limiter you screw yourself. Regular drive shifts at redline so why bother.

Don't street race.

If your friends want to race you, take it to the track where you're not endangering other peoples lives. This way we preserve life, and avoid knocking out my internet for 5 hours because you can't handle your car and crash into a pole.

This was over 10 years ago.

Question

Did you make it to the dragstrip to test your mad shifting skills?

Stop worrying about racing and learn to spell and learn some grammar.
