yea its an auto....i ran the same time last year in 75degree weather

I could only power brake it around 2000rpms because when i tryed near 3000 the car started to go sideways. Im going to try and go next week and see if I can get any better becasue the tires only have 200miles on them and my intake is brown and has chunks of stuff all over it(ill post some pictures of that tomorrow)

I don't know anything about the automatic but I think that the times are OK.

It was nice meeting a fellow 350z guy at the track.

The best I could do that night was 14.2@98 w/ 2.2 60' time, I ran that a few times. I know, I'm working on it!!

My 19" wheels are about 6-7lbs heavier than stock and the best I could run with them is 14.4@97mph, compared to my best time on stock wheels which is in my sig. So in my case I lost .5 sec and 3mph. That's a drastic drop off.

Anyway, I would think 13.9 is a great time for an Auto Z. I know you have a few boltons but I think your trap is good and you're running better than 90% of auto Zs I see out there.
