~3500lbs. Though I was running with 1/4 tank of gas, and nothing in the trunk. Also, I've got the crawford cats, which are lighter than the stock cats, though I don't know how much. Additionally, I have a 350z midpipe, which is about 15-20 pounds lighter than the stock 05 sedan midpipe.

You’re right. Just looked at 20 or so recent time slips, and my 1/8 mph is 79 - 81 mph. So I have one shift AFTER 1/8 mile: third to fourth.

Hmmmm, I thought all Gs and Zs typically saw 21-22mph in the last 1/8. Even my 03 G sedan 5AT with a Z-pipe consistently sees about 21.5mph+.

They do. I picked up 22mph stock, and I pick up 23mph now on my best run.

The 22mph gain doesnt' really reflect top end, it reflects gearing. He must be in the sweet spot of fourth gear when crossing the finsih line.

A better indication of good top end is the last 1/8mile ET. Looks like he's doing it in 4.8-4.9 sec, which is slightly slow for a high 13sec car IMHO.
