im going to the track for the first time on thursday and kinda wanting to know what kind of times people are running on a stocl Z.

 

Depends on the conditions and driving you're capable of. You could run 13.9 or you coud run 16.0. Just toy with your launching, you don't wnat bog, you don't want wheel spin.

Matt

 

do people run better time than that stock

 

I ran in tampa and got a 9.2/14.2 which was 95 degrees and 32 psi in the tires

 

I considered myself a pretty competent driver & ran a 14.3 first time out.

Got it down to a very consistent 14.1 after a few runs.

Best thing to keep in mind: Be ready for the damn light & don't gas it too much or you'll light 'em up & get a horrible 60' time.

 

i have seen a 13.6 stock

 

That's about the best I've ever heard of too for a stocker.

 

ya, thats pretty crazy

 

First run EVER 2.16 60ft, 13.80 @ 100.8, then went 13.77 @ 101.4 (2.05 60ft), and followed with a 13.86 @ 100. Those where my only three runs stock, at a so-so track No doubt at Cecil9better track in MD) I would have killed that time, but who knows, shoulda woulda, coulda.

 

Alberto....your a freak of nature when it comes to driving on the track . My first time at the track with a Voretch SC was 13.2 @105 with a 2.0 60ft AT5 G35

 

Lol, thanks

 

Track elevation, temperature, humidity, and track condition can influence your time and trap speed greatly. First time I went to the track I ran 13.88@103.9, with a 2.4 60ft 320ft, ~40 degrees

 

No, alberto just bought the only production car with tiny unicorns in the filter so it cuts off 1/2 second

 

lol

 

Just get out there, be safe, and have fun. I’ve seen too many new racers approach their first day at the track like it was some sort of defining moment in their life. If you work too hard to reach some pie-in-the-sky number, the fun factor goes out the door. Please keep in mind that no one cares about your ET. Just you.

 

Damn big driver difference in those two slips. Lol @ the above comments about my car guys. BTW Im totally that guy getting pi$sed when Im not nailing 2.0 60ft's on street tires. I now have maybe 8 runs on slicks and Im still upset at myself/set-up for not hitting a 1.7 60ft, mid 1.8's blow But at the end of the day I do have fun, I love dragging, been doing it since I was 16.
