Enjoy your helmet.
Still, it helps you in a grudge race. Like even though Zain went 12.9 to my 13.0, since I had a much better reaction time I won the race.

You need to come to a drag event.. I'm curious to see what you would run on the supercharger.

350Z: 13.09 at 113 mph (bigslim350Z)
Corvette: 12.92 at 108 mph (C5_vette )

victory goes to 350Z by .08 sec due to 350Z driver's excellent reaction time.

(Zain, what did you do to your car!!??)


EDIT: (being bored at work....)

using ricer math...... My best supercharger time at mason dixon was 13.4 at 110 mph while best supercharger time was 12.9 at 111.5 at capitol, so one
would think that since I did 13.09 at 113 at mason dixon, I would get about 12.5xx at 115 mph at capitol .....on street tires, provided my axles don't break again.
Hahah man I wish we had lined up properly the very next run where I ran the 12.8, I think I would have beaten you that race!

in that run where you beat me by .08 sec I actually trapped 109mph to your 112, my highest trap speed to date

If I can Manage to blend my .09 with my top speed of 105.4 and shift right, I think i can make it happen. Looks like i'll be rockin that dumb helmet all summer!
Even if it hadnt been your first time 13.4 is pretty good on street tires. Your reaction time wont change your ET but if you post the slips people on the forum will be happy to give you tips to improve. Your like #3 on the 07 Bolt on list!

Thats a very good 60' for your first time in 7 years and on street tires. Do you have prototype stillen headers on your HR or are they available for sale already?

I put the stillen headers from my 06 onto the 07 ... the tech told me the bottom half of the motor is the same and they were a perfect fit.

that wasn't stock handling. Ted did some major upgrades to the suspension in his car.

... I have r tune high flow headers. apparantly they have almost the same flow as test pipes? Bought them off of the stillen website. I couldn't tell you how loud they are because I had them put on the same time the custom exhaust was built - and that's so loud you can't even think.
