Top 25 1/4 mile for 370z's & G37's
I'm ok with that, Mike. My only stipulation would be that you create extra posts at the start of the top 25 thread so that you have room, should you need it down the road.
BTW, with a 111+ trap, 11 sec passes are possible on slicks and with a good DA.

I am leaning towards Four categories....
Bone Stock: Will allow oil coolers ONLY, but must be on factory Bridgestones.
N/A: All encompassing...everything from just an intake to fully built 15:1 All Motor builds.
F/I: At least to start...all FI will be in a single list. If there is enough entries over time I will separate them as the 350Z list is.
Overall Top 25: Self explanatory.
Thoughts?

No need for multiple forced induction categories. Prefer the terms "all motor" and "power adder." But since 350Z drag racing uses "naturally aspirated" and "forced induction" may as well stick with it for continuity.

those are some nice times.
not that my opinion matters but I've always found that street tires are street tires when it comes to the drag strip, and that traction between different ones has always been essentially the same.
i personally wouldn't limit "bone stock" to the stock tires at the expense of lumping in guys with full bolt ons like dnaut right beside guys who's cars are bone stock with no power or drivetrain modifications but who just went with a different brand of normal street tire when their stockers wore out.
you put two otherwise identical cars next to each other on the drag strip and one guy is not going to have an advantage over the other because one has PS2s and the other has RE050s or whatever.

My bad AJ, I hit the G'damn edit button again...meaning to hit quote 
.
The reason for the oil cooler is even without hot lapping...the 370z's have an issue with getting the oil to hot and going into limp mode. Adding an oil cooler won't net any additional whp, but will allow those in warmer climates to have a "fair" chance at topping the list. If this is a major point of contention for the 370z folks here...I don't have a problem with not allowing it for "stock down to the tire." I was just trying to be considerate to those in the South.

I somewhat agreee. I think the main purpose for the bone stock list was to see what owners could get out of it straight off the showroom floor. But since an oil cooler is ok that kinda goes out the window. If an oil cooler is allowed then a different brand of the same sized street tires should be also. Just my .02.
One exception will lead to another. What about a muffler? After all its only a muffler. May be this is a can of worms we do not want to open.
Well, you have nitrous, no? You can still keep up with the bolt-on 370Zs.

I think the other members are right. I don't think we should have any exceptions for bone-stock list.
LI don't think an oil cooler should be considered a modification. In all actuality its something Nissan should've considered to begin with and hopefully will have a tsb or recall on. My 370z has hit about 230 degrees just driving normally on the highway.
Nobody's arguing that the oil cooler does not make you faster. It's the concept of allowing an exception. If we allowed that, others will ask "why not XXX or YYY?" I mean, where do we draw the line?
It was determined long ago that there were to be no exceptions whatsoever for the 350Z's 100% stock list (hence the name ONE HUNDRED PERCENT) and for the sake of consistency, we need to uphold the same rules for the 370Zs.
But.. what do I know..?

I know I'm new, & don't want to complicate things, but what if someone had a pro engine builder rebuild/build a none turbo, non supercharged or nitrous engine(you can get 500+HP with cams/port polish heads blah, blah) Will it be in the bolt on list
