you actually seem to be the one thats whining. from what i've seen from your other posts on this forum you spend much of your time whining and bashing what other people say. you just b!tch about anything good that anyone puts down that you don't find "believeable" but i'm guessing thats just because you obviously know everything. get over yourself dude and get a life why can't you just let people enjoy the forum. i'm just trying to get my time up on the list like everyone else has and i'd still be trying to do that if i ran a 15sec et and a 3.6 60 ft. the tires i use are yoko advan ao46 235 45, a tire made more for great handling than anything else but with very good grip none the less and that really shows in the horrible tread wear that they have. now you match that with my level 10 built auto tranny and suspension work that i have done and you get a car with good traction off the whole shot. not to mention with a little free time you can program the greddy E-01 limit how fast your boost climbs from low rpm and speed and to help you from being at full boost so quick, which also helps with traction. but if its that much of a f#cking problem then the mod can delete my post so alberto can stop crying about my times and we can all get on with our lives

 

Good luck trying to catch up to my times. When/if you do come though, do make sure to look me up. It'll be interesting nonetheless.

 

I dont need to catch up to anything man, I was running low 13's NA years ago...

 

Is that on a stock 18" rim? If so, thats a stock width tire with a slightly smaller side wall. I suppose anything's possible with VHT, but its still kinda hard to believe.

 

1.65 60ft on a 235 series tire and Greddy twins I dont believe it. Not hating, I have nothing to hate about just doesnt add up especially with an auto and the lackluster 3.3 FD @ your power levels.

 

last 2 times at the track...1/8 and 1/4 mile tracks.

Yeah, with more mods and power to the ground. You also have more experience. Give me your mods and I guarantee I'll break 12s.

edit - I only started drag racing last fall and this is my first manual car (bought in July 05).

2nd edit - GargoyleZ, provide the necessary info (see first post) and I'll update the list. Thanks.

 

i have the stock 17" rims but your right its stock width with a slightly smaller side wall.

 

i think you really underestimate autos for starters, but if i would have known that having such a good 60ft on street tires was going to cause so much bs then i would have just said screw it and not posted my times but like i said i'm just trying to get my time up on the list i'm not here to get into a pissing contest about 60ft times.

 

Im glad you posted about it. In 4 years Ive never seen anybody pull 60ft's like that with an auto and on street tires. It seems you did it consistently as well, so it wasnt a fluke. I didnt mean to upset you.

 

I updated the list with your time, but i still need to know ...

1. Model
2. Year
3. 6spd or auto


Let me know

I wish i could pull 60fts like that on slicks but then again, i have only had 4 passes on them. I hope to get back to the track SOON!!


Keep up the good driving guys and keep the timeslips coming

Later

well i spent about a month tuning the boost controller to not let the boost rise so fast at low/or no speeds and rpm give myself just enough power to get off the line quick without wasting as much time as possible spining. as far as the consistency of it the credit there mosty goes to the tranny. all i do at the line is get the rpms up to about 1100 and go on green and as you can see my RTs aren't the best. if i had a mt then i would have to deal with the inconsistency of how a may engage the clutch. my 60ft times weren't nearly this consistant when i had my eclipse (it was mt)

 

Well I finally got my butt out to the track and made a run - I was only able to get 1 run in. This was my first run ever - not just in this car but in any car. Anyway, I ran a 14.536 @ 96.73 - left lane in the pic.

I'm going to get back out to the track as soon as I can to try to improve my times before I start modding.

Just as an fyi, the right lane was a G35.

 

sears point/infineon raceway

I'm in the left lane (69)

 

You are one of the first 350Z drivers I have seen racing Summit ET. You are 3/100 seconds off your dial-in. Good show.

 

Never raced at a drag strip before. I felt i did pretty good for a first time and being 100% stock.

 

1. Year and Model (trim) of car
2. Auto or 6spd

 

+1

Those are some pretty good times for your first time out in any case though.
