just before redline in every gear....I used to bump off the rev limiter all the time when I tried to wind it all the way out...so I lowered my shift points just a bit and my runs are much more consistant.

As for the snow tires...they are the stock 17in sizes...235/50-17 in the rear and 225/50-17 in the front. Michelin Pilot Alpins.

you're kidding right??? I used to hook better with my stock RE040s....

thanks for the props dude...I'm impressed with your traps also.

Just a side note...about the density altitude. We ran on Saturday...not yesterday...a nice high pressure center came through yesterday....the DA was a bit higher on saturday.

Nice times! It shows your a great driver and I think you have a factory freak. BTW how many miles on your Z? I remember Autoweek had a longterm update on the Z with 40k miles and it trapped 103.

I think it has more to do with his driving ability and less with his car.

Another thing people keep forgetting is that if you drive the car economically (shifing ~2500rpms), the ECU will adjust for that. So if you're an economical driver on the weekdays and you go to the track on the weekend, your times might not be the best. If you do three runs, it might not fully adjust till the 3rd run, if at all. The best thing to do is to reset the ECU then drive really hard, then drag it. Or drive it really hard on the way to the strip

23k miles...I don't really think it's a factory freak....I ran a Touring Z that was IDENTICAL to my car last summer except he had the SES exhaust from a roll...and he slowly pulled out on me.

I'm nice to my car 90% of the time...and I always drive it extra nice on the way to and from the track to make up for the beating I put on it while at the track.
