Default Went to Darlington tonight

And I didn't do so well. 13.04 was my best. Beat my friend & his 6.0 Camaro that ran a 11.9 on the way back pretty bad though! lol I was on Nitto Invo's and was babying 1st gear. Actually got full traction in 2nd though. Time for axles and sticker tires!

Are you hiding the fact that you are running poorly with forced-induction or running exceptionally well with a HR motor. I am not a mind reader.

Thanks, saved me looking it up! lol No I didn't. I've done nothing at all to lighten it except the LMGT4's, but with the wider tires I only saved about 20 lbs total. Though it is unsprung weight. I even had the spare in the back.

If I gutted my car completely except what is needed to run, about how much weight would be saved? Anyone know? Ballpark?

yeah but you also have the added weight of your turbo.. I have a G35 and went to the track with no spare tire, jack, gas almost on the E, no CAT, No Muffler (I have the ST STS) and still manage to weigh 3655lbs with me in it. I have 370whp and trapped 111.69mph with my Heavy VSXX 19's and 285 in the back with no traction. What model of 350z do you have?
