i am supposed to be running my buddys se-r at bradenton motorsports track in fl this thursday...not sure if im going to win because his best time was a 14.5 and mine was a 14.7...any suggestions? lol

 

lose extra weight and drive better. don't keep a lot of gas in the tank. describe your launch method?

 

+1 for less gas and overall weight.

 

those altima se-r's are beasts...i remember when they came out when i worked at a nissan dealership...thing is like a fwd 4 door Z.

 

Drive with the top down and yell “90 MPH - Here I come!”

 

You should be able to run a better time than the FWD Altima.

 

have you driven one of these "FWD altimas"? its a quick *** car even being an altima

 

but it is still slower stock for stock. but obviously this guy is doing something wrong if he is pulling 14.7's

 

14.7 in a Z = fail. I highly suggest practicing before a altima ownes you with groceries in the back.

 

14.7 in a Z is fail. my first time out at the track with a manual was in my Z. I got 14.7 getting zero traction off the line after dumping the clutch, letting off to get her straight shifting into 2nd then getting on the gas again.

 

Lol were u drifting the quater mile ?

 

Guys its a ZR, called extra baggage aka FAT aka HEAVY= 14.7!

 

I have seen numerous z"s auto as well run 14.2. Zr is not a excuse for not knowing how to drive.

 

the only mod i have done to it is a jwt pop charger

my laucnhig method is power braking and wait til the rpm needle hits like 2500 rpm and then let go of the brake when the tree hits the third yellow light...

best reaction tim was a .198 and 60 ft was 2.16

 

Just practice you should be able to take him with no problem.

 

it really depends...what does the altima have done? i have a story about one but im not allowed to talk about it. he had i/h/tp/e and a drop...that thing was fast as hell..

 

Indeed I have - torquesteer is such a wonderul thing. I know it is "fast", but that FWD crap is a bear not only to launch but also to keep straight and keep from spinning through 2 gears.

 

yank the spare, keep gas well under a 1/4 tank...if the E-light comes out youre good to go, I get 5 autox runs and a 2 mile drive to a gas station after my E-light comes up. maybe run low tire pressures out back...and dont fail lol.

 

he is on street tires he dosent need to drop the tires pressure low

 

i do that in my Z with just a popcharger (well 1st and half of second)
