Went to the track, again. Temps were in the mid-to-high twenties. 1/4 tank of chevron. I took everything out of the trunk. Everything.

Had 16 runs.
9 runs with traps > 100.
8 runs with 2.1 60 foots.
1 run with a 2.100 sixty foot, but I missed a shift on that run, so who knows what my ET would have been.
5 runs of 13.8 ET's.
Best trap of the night: 103.16.

Running on all-season 245/40 street tires.

 

Not bad. That's about the coldest running at the track I've ever heard of too. I was at the track in the mid to high 30s once but that's it. The one time I went in january it was damn near 60 lol.

 

damn thats nice man... never doubt the sedan!

 

Haha, must be Steele, they will open when its 10 degrees!

Nice times.

 

Nice times....

 

indeed, especially on All-season tires and such a cold temp.

 

No doubt!

Its nice to have a sports car like the Z (can wait for mine in a few months!)

BUT....

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats seeing the look on a mustang, bmw 3 series , suby's (and yes always the abundance of civics and preludes ) drivers faces after they loose to a G Sedan.........

I'm going to miss my G (for sale at moment PM if you might be intrested) as I like having a car thats almost as fast as the Z stock, but with 4 DOORS!!!hehehe....

 

Some time slips would be nice to see.

And before anybody comments on my sh!tty reaction times; I am fully aware of those. All night long all I was doing was concentrating on launching properly; IOW, making sure my revs were exactly where I wanted them.

 

i never been down a track before. wonder wuts it like. im getting my Greddy TT put on this week. going to test it out when it opens. i bet i'll have a ****tier reaction time than you. =) great times tho.

 

Your 60-foot times are a consistent 2.1X seconds showing a solid launch technique. During the second 660 feet, you're picking up about 22 mph: damn good shifting technique. Looking at the ET, I think you would do well racing Summit ET. You are one of the best G35 drivers I have seen.

 

I really appreciate the comments man. But could explain what Summit ET is? Is it a track? Is it a style like bracket racing?

 

David at 1/8 he is already toward the top of 3rd gear. His G picking up 22mph the last 1/8 only requires 1 shift into 4th, and therefore the last 1/8 isnt a good indicator of shifting technique (not saying ur bad trey). What the last 1/8 mile does show is that his G has good top-end. The first 1/8 mile is where you can determine if a person is shifting well by looking at their trap and e.t. at that point. BTW yes he is referring to bracket racing....and yes I agree on your good driving, its nice to see a G sedan running 13's and trapping 103

 

Well in all honesty, I wasn't trapping at 103. I was trapping at 101/102, and had only one trap of 103. On that run I just spun at the line like crazy.

Thanks anyway

 

Still 101-102 is as good as most stock Z's can trap, mine only trapped 100-101 stock, others as high as 103mph. How heavy are G sedans?

 

The 05' curb weight is 3650lb.....

 

Yes bracket racing. I see 6 time slips with ET varying no more than 0.10 seconds. Very good. Dial in 13.78 seconds, work on reaction time, and you're a winner.

 

Thanks for the comments. I’m can't remember when I shift from third to fourth? Is it before or after 1/8 mile? Don’t know for sure.

 

After, most Z's stock are near stock trap 79-81mph 1/8, and your 3rd gear redlines at 88mph stock
