How much power are you putting down now?
me?

if so, my car only put 250rwhp and 297rwt @ 3500lbs race weight
the a/f is crap at 11.5:1, and the hp leveled off in the high 240's from 4700rpms-5500rpms...really weird.

easy jackie chan. I'm just upset because there are a lot of people trying to pursuade us 350Z owners, that our cars are garbage and that their SS's and LS1's are the ****.

I'm sorry if your upset that i dont like your car that much. But that is my opinion!

And I'm by no means a ricer considering the only modifications done to my car right now are all performance mods and suspension mods. But hey if thats what you feel, o.k. You clearly have been on here for a while, just dont fall into the ways of other domestic owners lately!

you better do a little more research on my posts on here. I probably have more miles behind the wheel of coupes and roadsters than half of the owners on here. as far as the performance, i was one of only a couple people that said z's were capable of 12's with only boltons well over 1 year before anyone did it here...and pretty much flamed for stating it.

as far as my car, if you never owned a mustang and you dont know. its like owning a wrangler or bike. its a toy not transportation. car enthusiasts are true, they dont **** on others cars, becuase we all mutually know how much we love our toys. you banter about eachothers toy, but you dont **** on it. that makes you a ricer fanboy no matter if you drive a camero or mustank or z or honda or vette

thats cool. I understand. like i said, you probably have been here for a while and i respect that. I understand that we all have certain tastes, and i have many of them. Im sorry if a mustang is not one of them. I have driven my fair share and dont like the way it feels overall. (98? conv cobra, 01 gt steeda, 01 cobra, 88 5.0- just to mention a few) but i also have driven a few camaros and firebirds and those are not any better.
Its cool, and i usually go by the phrase "to each his own," as far as car tastes are concerned. Lately i've been on the defensive a little more with domestic people, seeing as to how much they have been trying to influence my persuation.

davidv - What rpm are you launching your car at? Are you doing anything special to acheive that 1.9 60' on street tires?

Damn you guys in northern states. So lucky. It's so damn hot here down in Texas and the humidity is so high that, it kills our times.

Nothing special about the start: about 2,500rpm. And lots of practice. My tires hook-up best at 25psi.

Damn.. I just continue to spin and get something like 2.3 for 60' if I rev past 2000 rpm. If I rev up to 2000, I can get 2.2 on the 60'. Maybe I should play around with my tire pressure a bit too.
