Wow!- That's really fast! How do you justify making that sort of claim? Are there cars built the same way that have run that quickly? Being the avid bracket racer that I am, I'd love to see their timeslip! The fastest Z I ever saw run the 1/4 was a black 300ZX TT, who at the time ran an 11.7 at 121mph.
Most of the 2wd street cars I've seen do a 10second pass pop a wheelie for a few seconds! I wonder what a 350 would look like doing a wheelie

Keep us posted with dyno sheets and timeslips. Do you have any baseline/previous timeslips?

BTW I think I saw your ride at the SJ Auto Show back in January, NICE!

I'd pay to see those timeslips, as I'm more interested in the gained-speed between the 1/8 and the 1/4. That's where you already have traction (or should) and the power of the car really takes over and is driveable. Given your power estimates, the difference between the 1/8 and the 1/4 should be over 35mph (for your current build). That takes dyno variance entirely out of the equation.

Track times are so much more viable than dyno numbers. Dynos are to tune cars with and give you EPA GAS MILAGE estimates

My car used to pick up 28-31mph between the 1/8 and 1/4...

Why can't we get the Z's to do something similar?
I don't mind being videoman.

Am I missing previous video footage of all these 10/11 second 350Z's, if so please direct me to those threads, if not then let's take it to the track!

i dont think that there are that many Z's running 10/11 second passes like that. i dont feel like its because they are not capable though, its just that there are more gm's and mustangs around to drag. They were all older cars too, which have become peoples project cars. One of the newest cars in that video was the C5 vette. After that they were old 95-98 camaros, trans-am F-bodies, or old mustangs.
