Damn nice run Tonah My best was 13.79 with just a pop charger on the 19's with my entire sound system intact, but I did remove the passenger seat and jack/spare. 101.13 was my highest trap though

Cool. Theres a Daytona blue on bronze Volk TE-37/Greddy Exh/Greddy front lip 6-spd 350Z, Red auto 350Z, white 350Z 6-spd and a red LS1 Camaro SS auto owned by middle eastern guys who live in my apartment complex. I've already raced the blue 350Z and pulled him slightly on the highway, but the other guys in the red auto 350Z and the LS1 want a shot at me. I caught up with them the other day and they agreed to a ~40-45 roll. The red 350Z has 18" AZA wheels and as far as I can tell thats it, although he has Volk Racing stickers (?) and TEIN stickers on his car. The owner of the LS1 has Flowmasters (I think, some kind of cat back) and as far as I can tell, thats it. Although the LS1 owner said he has run a 12.6@unknown MPH, which if is true, I'm sure he'll put a buslength on my 5 series. I'm very much looking forward to running the red 350Z though. If I nail down a time i'll PM you in case you're around and want to check it out.

Oh, definitely. I can NEVER find anyone who wants to street race any, except for crotch rockets. I can always go jump in the car and come mess around.

Thanks, tons o' fun! LOL How are you doing Danny boy? And damn, 13.79 is a great time for just a pop charger and 19's! Why would you keep the system in and lose the passenger seat? I was thinking when I was at the track, I might have been able to get a better 60' in I left my system in! With no LAD like my car and all the other base models....it might be advantageous to have some weight keeping my rear wheels planted....all they wanted to do was hop and spin, lol

Meh times are a little rough right now, but I'll bounce back, I always do Anyways I left the system in because the subs are bolted down to the frame in the trunk. When I went to the track on the stock wheels/tires I'd spin as well, but with the 19's and toyo t1-r tires they just straight up HOOK, on that run I nailed a 2.02 60', damn close to a 1.99

Thanks.
It was not a spec, it was a SE-R 5-speed, no lsd. Only mods are cat-back exhuast and suspension.

It's interesting how much trap your car is picking up from the 1/8th too.
Dude what are you doing for that 60ft? i would love to get an 8.4 in the 1/8th. I cant get past 8.9 in the 1/8th
