1/8: 8.896
mph: 82.88
1000: 11.443
1/4: 13.583

Excellent time but it would be better if you drove your car.

 

haha i wasnt doing too good today, kept missing gears and called it quits. my friend also races his stock 04 z with DRs not sure of hes on here

 

Not bad times.

 

Solid time, but the track time might have been better served with you in the seat getting more experience.

 

just tried the DA calculator on drag times. com, and showed me a corrected time of
12.984 @ 105.671, how accurate are these things?
my friend was pretty confident he could get the car to 12.80s as the car stands right now, DRs and a tune coming soon, along with cooler temps in the fall

 

yea i know, he just wanted to give it a shot running an HR and that was the turn out. he was showing me some tips n all that and i improved my launch and things were going really good but then i missed 3rd lol fail i know

 

Nice times... you going to import faceoff next month on the 10th?

 

ill be there but prob wont be running my car

 

I was drag racing one day and running 13.8 seconds. Made friends with a motorcycle racer, and gave him my keys. He gets in my car a runs 13.6 seconds. Go figure.

 

Calculator is OK but unfortunately a calculator cannot drive.

 

well said.

 

i know guys ill be out there again soon, im trying to figure out how to launch since thats what kills me, i tried the whole slip the clutch thing but either i slip it too fast or not fast enough. pretty frustrating but ill get the hang of it hopefully .

 

K.. I'll be out there... look for a Red Z with gold works.. I'll be running it on the track

 

Yeah we are going to get that car into high the 12's i got a 13.3 at 102 out of a stock DE so its def possible, i need a lil bit a seat time in your car since the Hr is a lil bit different than mine; I think i can get away with launching it at 4600 on street tires. Launching at that rpm is bad news bears on the DE

 

They are fairly accurate that why I take it personally when I cant get the those times lol. Im a perfectionist when it comes to track times.

 

lol oh so u are on here! yea man we'll have to go back and make that happen, i was impressed after just 3 tries in such heat u pulled of that time in such heat, a DA of 1650ft is no joke . we still got a free track day for thursdays so thats cool

 

Wat

 

^ with dr's of course. theres no way i couldve done it with street tires

 

Adding DR's disqualifies you form being stock. Even so, that time puts you ahead of some of the best "stock" times by around .4, not impossible but hard to believe I havent seen it. Tires on an NA Z > NA mods down the 1320

Post the slip or the breakdown of it...
