And man did i do awful lol.

First time ever with the Z at some crappy backwoods 1/8 mile track, i didnt think i could find a track worse than Bradenton, but damnit, i was proven wrong. It was for some ghey ricer car show but they had the 1/8th mile open at the park, i wasnt prepared to run but a few of my friends kept egging me on because none of them wanted to run their Z's, so i said **** it and got in line.


Sat in line for 2 hours and finally got to run, i thew the slip away but heres the stats

60 ft 2.55

1/8th 9.35

MPH 82

I launched waaaay too hard, i dropped the clutch at like 3500 cuz i got nervous, i spun all the way through 1st and most of second, i really should have dropped it around 2k.

I was happy with the mph because thats really high for the 8th so my car does have quite a bit of power, so thats good to know, i just need some practice!

Mods are:

JWT Intake
Kinetix Intake Plenum
Topspeed Headers
Stillen Test Pipes
Custom Y-pipe
NISMO LMGT4's with 275 Nitto 555's in the rear.

I ran with full interior includinge spare and jack, my bookback from class that day, and a 6 pack of bottled water in the trunk!

I did run one more time, i got a significantly better launch (2.3) but missed second and ran a 10.006

 

Did you get a ECU reflash?

 

howd you sipin that bad with 275's in the rear>?

 

crappy track, and dropping the clutch near peak torque will do that

 

not with 275's, he said he dropped it at 3,500rpm's, that wont happen unless he actually just let go of the clucth with no modulation.

 

When you start spinning that bad in first gear, pedal it until you get traction and your time would improve. No use in spinning through 1-2-etc. All that MPH means is you were spinning really bad....it will increase your trap speed.

 

What are you talking about?? You know that he responded to you right?

Futhermore...if you think that 275 tires are the end all to traction problems for a Z, you're sorely mistaken. I can spin the cr@p out of my 275/40-18 S-03s with very litte effort, no drop clutch launches required...I don't even run them on the drag strip because they would be useless.

 

Vash where in florida? Lutz?? I am located on Marco Island. Dont worry it should get better. Its your first time. Practice makes perfect!!

 

Lutz is just a tad north of Tampa , where is marco island?
