You will break something. Pass #1 or #101 something will break. Just put some money aside for a clutch or axle or both.

Let's keep it going. What's your worst pass of the year? Mine was a 14.5 with a 2.5 60'. My very first pass ever with rwd and the z, combo of it not liking the clutch slip launch and me forgetting my tires were at 40psi.

8 times. Last pass cracked my crank pulley and I was leaking oil. I hate the wheel hop and I will never got back to the drag strip to race my car ever again. Canyon runs and circuit trackin are much funner anyway

I have many hundreds in my first car, which is where I taught myself most of the things I know now.

The Z has maybe 50 passes NA

About 20 passes single turbo, and only 5 passes twin turbo. I have yet to get a clean TT run without having to get out of it....

Many here think I am ALWAYS at the track but thats not the case. If the car runs good I only need afew passes to make it count now-a-days

A Ford Probe GT, that I built 2 motors on waayyyyy back in the day (before the turbo era came in strong) to beat up on Hondas. Im talking when 14 sec imports were "quick" lol

I spent nearly 2 summers, every weekend at the track. 4 transmissions, 3 motors, numerous parts murdered
