Great numbers, especially to be stock. I ran a 13.9 @ 102.4mph at steele and I have exhaust, test pipes and 285/35-19's on the rear. Let me know when you decide to go to steele again, I'll ride over there with ya.

 

No, I am thinking JWT pop charger, exhaust, plenum, or the plenum spacer, and ecu. Thats it for now. I am going to keep it n/a.

This is going to take time though, as I don't have the money to spend right now. This is part of the reason it has stayed stock. I would like to hit high 12's n/a, with bolt ons eventually though. We'll see. I am not sure which exhaust I am going with, or with the other brands, only the JWT pop charger. I will continue to do some research for now.

I redlighted once against a stock 04 AT, by -.006, won the next run, and then ran a very modified 04 M6, and lost. He ran 12's.

 

I will, the more the merrier.

 

My traps were down a little, so I probably could have run a 13.5 with my best traps.

I broke it in easy until 700 miles. I run it hard at the track, but drive it normal otherwise, save for the occasional on ramp acceleration, or burst when I feel an urge. The car now has 17K miles.

I honestly think that most 6 speed Z's are capable of these times given the right conditions as Brian said.

I also think they get a little stronger as the miles add up, and things open up a bit.

 

Let me know also, i'll ride up and meet you guys.

 

same track I go to not bad when they actually prep it right. You see my best on my sig. I do think any 6MT can hit 13's easy, mine did get faster after some mileage. Mine is a touring model, pretty heavy and with 18's, they only get lighter than mine. Ninja and Zach also go there, we hang out a bit... as a matter of fact we are supposed to cook out Friday night and head over to Steele around 9 when it opens. Hoping to have test pipes by then

 

Awesome, I made a "bet" sorta with Ninja-Z and Zachrosen that I was gonna hit 12's n/a with some DR's, hopefully with just bolt-on's but cams if I had to. They say no way so it's on. We were at Talledega's road course on Saturday (after the bhamrace.org cookout in Trussville) watching time trials. Too bad they wouldn't let us run

So..

Can anybody explain to me the technique/way/pressure you 13 second people do to shift to second? My best was 14.1 stock on 19 inch volks, but i think 1st-2nd shifting is keeping me away from running better times due to the notch.

Vee tec: Did you powershift?

I just picked up a set of slicks in preperation for my turbos...but since my turbos aren't here yet, I'm going to take the car to the strip N/A on the slicks to see if I can pull off a 12. Should be doable. If you really heat up the DRs and get a really good 60' you should be able to go 12s too.

 

I just hit the clutch hard and slam it into second at the same time...no powershifting...goes it pretty much every time without any issue. Every once in a while I get a slight grind when I do it a little too fast, but it doesn't seem to affect my times.

 

I shift fast, but use the clutch, if thats what you meant.

If you watch the video you can hear how fast the shift is. If you shift slow, you will lose time and trap speed.

I set my rev light for 6,900 and shift quickly as soon as it lights up, but I am already glancing at the tach to be ready so I don't hit the limiter.

Practice.

 

Veetec, Do you let off the gas when you press the clutch in, or do you keep it full throttle when shifting, like Alberto?

I am not sure what this is called, though.
I dont think it is called powershifting, because I thought that was shifting without the clutch and just ripping it into gear at the right rpm.

 

It's called "no lift to shift" and I'm pretty sure he doesn't do it.

 

No, I don't.

 

There's no doubt in my mind that it can be done. I was still stock and saving for the APS kit when I met Alberto. After seeing what he could do with minor bolt ons, I started to try the "more with less" approach Seriously though, Bert did a 13.1 without cams or headers in hot weather. He could probably hit 12's if he had more runs. (Or one or two more mods)

You're just like me. I research the sh*t out of something THEN wait for a good deal on it. Take your time. Nothing's worse than wasting your money on "do nothing" mods.

 

I havent seen any Z with any n/a mods, even more than me, run 13.1 or trap 107 with a mid 1.9 60ft(<---$hit), they all needed low to mid 1.7 60ft's, I dont need more mods, I just need more time on the slicks and Ill be 12's easy. BTW, different terms for different people but to me: Powershifting=shifting using the clutch just not letting off the gas, and Speedshifting=shifting very fast using the clutch and letting off the gas quickly in between shifts. Shifting without the clutch = stupid imo, and I wouldn never do that.

Bri-thats awesome that your going to the track n/a on slicks, if you pull a low 1.7 60ft you'll be 12's for sure, good luck

 

I know, I saw his 60' and his trap. Does he have stage 1 or 2?
