Note to self:
1. Learn how to drag
2. Turn the A/C off
3. Use the proper traction control
4. Roll the windows up
5. Get ready for humble pie

Even though I was beat by half the cars there I wasn't surprised. I was beat by cars with 525+hp at the crank. The owner of the G8 stated to me that his car has 12k in mods and it's fast to say the least.

My stock C5Z definitely held it's own and ran flawlessly everytime (minus me). Even though this was my first time dragging on an airstrip, I had a blast. For so long I've always been about driving right or left, this was refreshing to say the least. I'll never miss again and next by year I'll have practiced, I made way too many mistakes. The rolling starts and getting the pedal down at the right time eluded me almost every time.

 

I didn't know that you won those races. WOW! How fast is your car in the 1/4 mile?

 

Wow, thats a close run Todd. Didn't know you had one that tight. Check your email.

 

Damn impressive.

Thought I saw this car go on the trailer at the end of the day?

 

Hals "street" car....this was when he was still with Injected.

Thanks for posting the vid. My n/a 06 Z. Motordyne MREV2 plenum, spacer, cat-back exhaust. High-flow cats, UpRev e-tune.

Funny, when asked I remembered being beat by.. at least 6 lengths.. now I see that is closer to 60. Good times though.

 

my car will be faster than XKR's car next year ,.....

just starting the smack talk a year early

 

Noooo, its Hal's car not mine. lol

 

That's not hard since his car had zero traction last year.

 

So Paul you doing a turbo upgrade? Hard to compete against AWD traction. Although Hal showed it was possible, at least in 4th gear with a lot more power. I don't see anyone displacing a low 9 sec Z anytime soon on the airstrip, so I'll have to settle for just beating you and Marshall next year.

 

 

How about near the end of the day next year a down the track, around the cone and back timed performance/ braking/ driver test????
Maybe a little more fun for those of us with an all around performance setup instead of these straight line guys haha

 

I hear it didn't go so well for you against Ryan,.... ?

He was texting me as he went by the cones in front of you to let me know stock turbo's will get the job done

 

If I do an upgrade I will have to remind Sharif to me get the car back first BEFORE he takes you for a ride first, lol.

 

damit, I can't believe I missed this year.

crap.

 

I didn't lose by as much as I thought I might. I definitely ran out of steam up top - had a chance and then he just pulled a solid 1/2 car ahead. I did gather some interesting data during the day to help me for next year though. In particular, while I was seeing boost of max 18 psi at the manifold, the turbo outlet compressor pressure on the driver side was 24 psi and the passenger side was 23 psi. So I'm losing 5-6 psi through pressure drop in my ICs I talked to Jim Wolf on Friday and he said to max out the 700bb he highly recommends a vertical flow intercooler. And that means a new bumper. Had a deposit down for a new poly Inven but that plan will have to change. Kuruma most likely...

 

I was very close, Ryan should post the video!

 

I would like to see it! I missed the last few races because I was on my back under my car fixing that stupid coupler.

 

any dates for 2012?
