Picked up my Z last Tuesday with the APS TT kit installed by GRD in Naperville, IL. Car is amazing. I absolutely love it for anyone who hasn't heard me say that 10 times already


Took her to the track today. 85 degrees and sunny. First pass hot off the highway I went 12.037@117.28mph with a 1.86 60' on my 295/35-18 BFGs with 35psi of tire pressure. I would have been in the 11s on the first pass if it wasn't for banging off the rev limiter at the end of second gear.

On my third pass...I ran this:


Needless to say I'm very happy with the results. And this was on my BFG DR 18 inch STREET tires. So then I put on my ET Street slicks and didn't run any better since I'm still a little spooked from the first time I broke an axle back in April. I need to order these driveshaft shop axles already so I can pull some deeper 11s.

I think in cooler weather with the upgrades axles and the ET streets I should be able to go 11.50-11.60@120mph

Here's the vid....enjoy!!

Thats great Brian, now I don't have to be disappointed!

Just wait until it cools off too, you will knock off another half a second or so. Don't worry about hitting it harder off the line, just don't pop the clutch, and you should be fine.

BTW, the Borla True Duals go on Thursday. I am hoping to better my stock times in the heat of summer, now that its not stock. After that, trying to make 12's with street tires and bolt ons.

 

With only 9psi! I'm in

 

Congrats again. Wish I would of been there. After that quick ride yesterday I am hooked! Time for my toy.

 

Gonna get back in the game huh??

 

Holly Crap!!!
Congrats!!!

I need to move to a place with a better track...too bad it gets so cold out there in IL during the winter

 

Yea...it's going to suck walking through the garage in January when there's 2 feet of snow on the ground past the Z AND my motorcycle, and knowing that I still have about 2 months before I can take either of them out.

 

Your cameraman sucks.

 

Congrats on the excellent ET and MPH, I'm sure with a little more time in the car you will be in the low 11's for sure, awsome work.

James

 

Nice, I have to go next time for sure. But i suck at driving so 14s here I come

 

Nice job Brian!!

 

Nice job Brian! I had a great time yesterday, even though the 12's still eluded me! Next time I will take out the spare and jack and all the other crap in my car. 13.1 @ 109 wasnt too bad though for 350whp and 5.5 psi on RE040's. I need to stop launching like a puss! And btw, Neal is right, your camera man sucks!

 

Oh yeah, btw, you should post the vid of you smoking me!

 

Is that screeching I hear toward the end of the run your car having trouble catching 4th (or 5th?!) gear or is that the other car?

Wow, congrats Brian your car is fast man. With similar 60ft's your car is 1.2 seconds faster and 11mph quicker through the traps than my bucket Thats some beast you have there, enjoy it

 

Congrats on your run. When do you and Neal plan on racing? I still want to see that.

Have fun and it only gets better from here.

 

I hear he rolls with a crew called Rainbow Racing. What a home

 

I'll post that vid if you want....

 

I think that's one of the next cars that's about to race finishing it's burnout. LOTS of trailer queens there yesterday.

 

As soon as his car is fixed...the trans is in the shop right now getting built up.
