newb? 
I bought my g35coupe Dec 2nd 2003. I've auto crossed dozens of time and been to a couple of road courses & am 36 years youn 
g. Just cuz I don't post 5 different times to express my opinions & "inflate" my post count it doesn't mean I'm a newbie. & even if I was, its doesn't take an old-timer to see that you've been mean-spirited this entire thread.

I could also put an arguement for 13.3 being low 13s...but I'm not going to go there right now.

-JonsilvZ blindly claiming that since one auto Z ran an E.T. comparable to 6-speed Z's now the auto is "just as quick" as the 6mt.
-DomZ's GUARANTEE that he will run better than 13.3 in an auto with a couple bolt-ons...
Jon's statement is completely untrue..although it really doesn't matter..just another baseless claim
Dom's statement is PURE bench racing...and thus laughable at best.
You are a newbie because in the year that you've been a member, your contribution to this forum has basically be nothing. You obviously don't know how things work on here, and thus your "opinion" of my tone and comments is obviously not a very educated one.
oh..and you'll be back....

I don't have a video but Anthz was there along with plenty of guys from the Z club out of Austin Texas. By the way the other car was a 350Z also and I believe he was from Austin also.

I've got to agree with Brian here, picking up 24+mph in an NA VQ just doesn't make that much sense. I've been involved with drag racing for about 12 years now and have probably made over 300 passes in various cars (Mustangs, Z28, Maxima, G35) and I consider myself well versed in the way a 1/4 mile breaks down increment by increment in relation to the powerband and power to weight of a car. To gain 24mph in the last 1/8 mile (assuming traction isn't an issue) is very hard to come by and there are only a couple late model NA motors that I know of that is capable of such a feat. That would be the LS series motors from GM and the Viper. I don't think many of you grasp the significance of gaining 24mph+ in the last 1/8 mile.
The hard truth is timers aren't always accurate, especially trap boxes. Some tracks, though rare, don't average the last 66' to calculate trap so it's possible that the timeslips are showing true ending trap speed and not averaged trap speed. That can mean the difference between 1-2mph. Like Brian has pointed out, typical gains for a stock or NA modded 350Z is in the 20-21mph range with most in the 21.X range. That is VERY good and suggests great topend power. 19mph is typical for most cars. Breaking 23mph is reserved for cars with huge powerbands and torque (ie ellis-juan) or turbo cars (huge topend charge). I don't doubt the timeslips these guys have, but I do doubt the equipment. The ETs make sense, but the traps don't. 98% of the NA 350Zs (and G35s for that matter) gain 20-21mph in the last 1/8 and then there are a couple that are gaining 24mph+. It just doesn't make sense. That would basicially mean the 24mph+ trapping cars are making about 40whp more than the others and that the additional power only comes on after the first 1/8 mile. Sorry, that's not happening.
A great example to show this is my old Maxima. With an intake and y-pipe it went 14.6@96mph and gained 19mph in the last 1/8. I made about 80 passes with that set up. Then I added a JDM variable intake manifold and a JWT ECU. Basically what these two mods did was gain my car anywhere from 10whp to 50whp from 4800-7000rpms. The car ended up going 14.3@99 and gained 21mph in the last 1/8. As you can see, it took a lot of power to only gain 2mph in the last 1/8.
