Default Took my Z to the 1/8 this weekend..

Well, I have an 04 5AT 350z with a pop charger and plenum spacer along with some awful tires at the moment..barely any tread..anyway, I ran a 9.4 while spinning a good bit..just wondering is this about an average time for 04 5AT Z's? Either way, it was enough to beat a mustang GT . I only got to run once with traction off, so I wonder what I'll get with some new tires and a better launch.

That stinks. Difficult to judge 60 foot time without a time slip. Automatic racers use some unique techniques that you should study.

Yeah true. Well is a 9.4 about right for an 04 5AT 350z basically stock?

You can get better, the autos don't suffer much in comparison to the manuals, and the good runs are high 8's to 9.0
