check out the mods done to this car. wouldnt you think it would be running so phenom times. But it didnt.. check the #s at the bottom. Anyone know why the 1/4 mile time on this car was not so good?

 

Its probably set up for track racing not drag. From the 1.03 skidpad, its probable. The rear tires are probably at an angle like this: / \ so they can grip when turning.. drag racers have their tires like this | | so they get full traction when going straight

 

yeah its a drift car not a drag car

 

Thats the same times I was running on 7psi with my Vortech...2.0 60ft with a AT5 G35 . On a hot summer night

 

Thats the exact same time Im running on the same suspension with less negative camber (Im sure) with bolt-ons Even with a bad launch the car should of trapped higher. But like already mentioned Im sure the guy can drift his a$$ off, and isnt that great of a drag racer.

 

All that weight in vinyl stickers is added weight and causing massive wind resistance.

if im not mistaken i think they swapped there ati procharger out for a PE TT now

 

You give me that same car... and I will easly run 12's... That was a magazine driver= crappy *** driver, plus they pry had cameras in the car and everything... All I am saying is dont listen to that and drive it yourself.

 

7psi....most get 340whp to 360whp ...high 12's to low 13's...not every one is Alberto

 

LOL Trent... not to be rude but just cuz your behind the wheel doesnt allow the car to go faster down the drag... its because its not meant to be a drag car Clearly the car isnt tuned for that... Most drifters do not want a car doing low 12's... they need something that will give them great accelerations only at certain speeds... too much power would just lead to insane oversteering and understeering in certain situations! Props to that car its beautiful and keeping the Z's name strong in drifting were it belongs! Not doing the straight line stuff like its little brother the 300

 

Thats the JIC drift car not set up for straight lines LOL
