I couldnt tell a power loss with them. If anything it felt like it pulled harder in top end. haha that would be awesome to see 2 girls racing z's. Is your Z an auto? Keep in mind my gf will be shifting
You should bring the graphs from the FT Dyno Day.....I would assume that they will do shootout mode fair "equality" as well. See if there is any difference.
You have launch control on your sti???? What's the key to launching them?? Practice?
No launch control just good ol fashioned practice. I usually hold revs at about 5000-5500 and slowly let the clutch out till the car moves then let out fully. You just gotta get a feel for it

yeah I live by the just before bog practice. In AWD yeah 5K is sweet, but at about 3800 in a G or Z, the car will chirp but not bog and its prime time with a decent set of streets on. Raise up according to tires...lol

Yeah launching a z is much harder imo but maybe thats just cause im used to my sti. I was hoping to get some more runs in to practice but it was really packed there so im eager for next year to do something decent with it. I think I was launching around 3000-3500 rpm and mostly bogged or wheel hopped

There is a mid-atlantic drag racing thread in the Drag forum, people are planning on heading to cecil county dragstip this weekend if you are interested.
I was out there last weekend and met up with a few Z guys. It was my first time there, as I usually run at Mason Dixon. The track prep was great, and people were putting down great numbers..its def. worth the trip.. especially with this weather. there were a decent amount of cars, but the lines moved quick, and people cleared out around 1 pm... I got in 20 runs...

I usually launch somewhere around 2k on street tires. On most of my 1.9 60's it would spin just a little then I'd go WOT.
I know VIR its a little bit of a haul for most of us but I have had the best time down there every single time. First Circuitcross is in Feb like I already mentioned. Its like autoX on the Patriot course but without the cones. Plus, its much cheaper then HPDE and a good beginner's event. I saw 2 other Z out there last August.
