As soon as I got there I ran a 14.207 @ 101.59mph. My time I was hoping to get was atleast a 13.9. Second run I was spinning the tires so bad from the launch that the motor shut down on me and I creeped across the line to avoid any further embarrasment. My third run wasn't great either. There was so much rubber on the launch pad I couldn't get traction. It was a 14.829 @ 99.67. THE FOURTH RUN PAID OFF!! I found a good spot in the pad and ran a 14.066 @ 101.49!! I'm sure this car will do a tad bit better (not much) if I were to have let some air out of my rear tires. If any of you are wondering, I only had about an 1/8 of a tank of gas. No MODS- 14.0 seconds FLAT!! I'm content. I'm going to scan my time tickets and post them as soon as I can. KEEP IT ON THE TRACK. Siverstone Performance 6MT

 

what were your 60ft times?

 

my best @ 14.066-101.49 60' time= 2.030 1/8 mile=8.734@81.59

 

Nice runs. 13's are not out of the question especially with your strong trap speeds.

 

wow..with that trap speed im sure u can hit 13s someday

 

Nice times! Maybe once you log a few more miles on that engine you'll hit 13's with ease. good job.

 

...just curious, what RPMs where you launching at on your first and final runs (the best runs correct?)?

 

I like to launch it between 3500 and 4000.

 

May be your problem, I find 2200 RPM is more then enough to get a jump and lose plenty for traction, I'm sure 3500 is just burning excess tire.

 

nice runs!

 

those were nice runs, since this is my first M6 car ever i'd pray for 14's, but i'm getting pretty decent at shifting fast. what a car to learn on though...haha

 

Very nice times! 13's are around the corner!

 

Looks like 3500 is a good spot to launch at judging by the 2.0 60ft times...sounds like the track had some good prep also

 

I have no 1/4 times yet but after I put a set of Yokohama AVS Sports on the back, I am beating a lot of 13 second cars on the street. I owned a highly modified RSX type S that turns consistend high 13s (documented).

bottom line .... the Z is a 13 second car with good rubber and a K&N drop in air filter

 

...hey daddyZ, you owned an RSX-S too?? I had an NBP RSX-S but all I had was an INJEN intake, AEM pulleys, comptech springs and Greddy front spoiler....I stopped modifications once I knew I wanted a Z (I was stuck with the crap stock tires) ....if you don't mind me asking, what all did you have done to your S

I find your times very odd, not doubting you but there just weird. I have a 2002 6spd max and I did the following time(my best)

60' 2.251
1/8 9.031 @ 82.35 MPH
1/4 13.883 @ 100.96 MPH


See my 60' and 1/8th is way slower then yours and my trap(on that run) is a tad slower too, seems impossible? Why did I complete the 1/4 mile faster then you with a worse 60' and a lower trap? For each tenth in the 60' you drop you about 2 tenths in your ET. So if I had your 60' I would run a 13.4-13.5, odd.. Some how I managed to catch up and pass you in the last 1/8 yet I was going slower at the end of the 1/4?

 

I was referred to this thread by emax. I also have a 2002 maxima and love the new z's. I find your time puzzling also because I happen to have a 13.9 @ 97.55 to my credit with the same exact 60' time of 2.03. It seems I am almost 4mph slower than you in the 1/4 but somehow have a quicker time with the same exact 60'. BTW I am and auto and was on slicks and have a video for proof for the non believers. Matt
