Marin's 715whp car trap speed....
We'll Marin G-tech'd his car and trapped 138 in the 1/4....we all know g-tech reads slower than real life and he let off in first and second...so I think his car could trap 140+ in the 1/4 mile... I think his power is there eh...???

wow, amazing power and speed in the 1/4 .
im using the beltronics unit, ran 8.45 at 87.54 in the 1/8th
the beltronics unit said i had ran 8.45 at 86.7 in the 1/8th
pretty damn close if you ask me. 0-60 time read 4.68 on this run also. congrats on the trap speed.

It all depends on his traction, I've seen awd porsches do 11.5 at 133mph, supras do 12.2 at 130mph...if he doesn't hook it won't matter on the power.
if he hooks up he should make it into the low 10's maybe 9's
I'd looooove to see that timeslip

That would be a sick timeslip...... You'd need 315 inch slicks, upgraded axles, drag suspension, and upgraded tranny...O also your camber better be dead on....Then 1.5 60ft and a high 9....But Marin usually races 40mph+ on the highway...so do I...but I like to go from a dig once and a while and still have a car that can do good in the twistys....so I'm going for a setup thats is in the middle of both...

Your car is going to be nasty, I don't know if my camera has a good enough zoom so I can look back and catch the expression of everyone your going to smash on
Did you take any pics of your new wheels?

My car is definetly not ready for the track.... I really dont care to much about my qtr mile time...I was more concerned about my trap speed more then anything.. That trap speed was the only qtr pass that i have ever done so i know i could do better... Its a street car.... I enjoy meeting up with random cars and showing people what a nissan can really do.... from a roll. Thats what makes my day....
