So I just got the green light from the wife that I'm allowed out for the afternoon on Saturday. So weather permitting (looks good so far!) I'll be heading out to TMP for the test and tune and thought I'd mention it to anyone else who might be interested.

Last time I was there I ran my winter car and pulled a 13.73 at 102.4. I really hoping that my 350z can run a better time.

Here is a pic of my winter beater:

 

holy **** man thats a nice winter beater dude , must be nice ............
is'nt that a rear wheel drice with stock 19's how do you hook in the snow

 

I haven't always been able to afford a winter car, or any car for that matter; I can tell you that from my public transit days. Anyhow they are actually 20's and it is a rear wheel drive, but with the OEM all seasons, they get me by.

So are you going to Cayuga?

 

Sweet winter beater Brady

 

having a winter beater like that puts you in the 'baller status' category.

 

^ that car ran 13's? damn. your z definetely wont.

 

^^ lol, i sense some bitterness from av

 

He has an HR motor.. He should easily break into the 13's...

 

it's not so easy when you get to the track

 

less pics of the beater and more of the Z please.

 

I'd b lucky to break 16s with my heavy fkn' shiat'

 

haha, true enough...

 

13.5x or bust. That will beat my time that I ran my old SRT-4 stage 1.

Here is what I have done for weight savings:
- Spare tire - removed
- Spare hardware - removed
- Rear carpet and spare cover - removed
- Passenger seat - removed
- Stock exhaust replaced with JIC single titanium

No power adders, just weight removal. I doubt this exhaust has added any power.

 

why don't we make our predictions here?

goneinsixtyseconds - 14.0 - 14.1 @ 98-100 mph

 

spare tire might help u on launching the car (if u keep it in). the rest of the weight savings uve done probably wont do anything.

and rich..what kind of prediction is that. exact number not an average.
so hr motor. 306 hp. i say best you'll run is 13.9@101 mph but who knows u might be really good at driving ur car in a straight line lol

 

avmagneticz- 13.93@101.67mph

 

High 13's low 14's harsh or realistic? Who knows but we shall see. Either way it's an afternoon out. And as per driving my car in a straight line, racing with curves is far more exciting, but I've earned my stripes at the strip too over the years.

Every lb counts when it comes to the drags (I sure know combo #2 at Wendy's ain't helping me any). I'm just hoping to get a favourable DA because the rest will be up to me.

 

lol, fine ... i'm thinking he'll pull a 14.1 @ 99 mph

i'm thinking about going to this as well, but it's probably going to be rammed if it's a saturday.

 

well its tomorrow so decide if u go i may come. i dont think saturdays are that busy. specially if u go first thing.

 

if friday's are rammed, it seems to me saturday would be worse. at least on friday you would have people who are working not being able to show up.
