Oh well, I'll let VeeTec do it, I couldn't hold out and leave my car stock.

I did get in 7-8 runs though to a get a feel for the car and embarass some mustangs, hondas and a one SRT-8 charger with a bad driver.

i wouldn't say hate. more of annoyed. to a lot of older members, they've seen / heard these questions asked before. many many times before. it really gets tiring when you see a new post every few days about the same topic.

All I'm saying is that I "believe" it is possible for a 07 to run high 12's with BASIC bolt-ons(non F/I) and either DR or slicks, nothing more.

if you read carfully you'd see i agree with you.. but let me ask the all important question.. take away those bolt-ons... then do you think so?

Come on 07 owners, let's make believers out of the new HR motor!
Geeze, everyone is so negative around here@!

I'm sure a full-bolt on 07 350Z with DR's, excellent driving AND excellent DR's will hit 12's... in winter/fall AND when more mods become available.

Will it be common?
No.

No.
He ran in a track where the best times have been achieved by many different cars. The DA's are VERY low, and it's hard to find a better track than those in the east coast.
Conditions & preperation couldn't get any better. So the only way 12's would be possible on a bone stock Z would be if he hit a 1.5 60ft on the same excellent conditions & perfect driving...
It's not gonna happen.
PS. Drag radials is a better mod than a handfun of NA mods. And a car on drags is not considered stock anymore.

I say it can be done and will. Anyone with track time and some better tires will do it. It is just going to take time to get more 07 out to the track. You have to look at the few cars that you are basing you claims on. What the few that have posted time. We will see soon.
