Raced with EVO, 2 WRX, Turbo RSX
I went to a dragstrip 2 days ago and had really good time over there. (it was like a Spring picnic 
)
A local performance shop lent the place whole day and tested their EVO, WRX, and turbo RSX and I just happened to run with them Yeah... they were really really fast 
See the pics first
Evo was slightly moded(2.5" test pipe, AFR, stock cat back exhaust and manual boost controller) and it ran 12.57@107
There were 2 WRX's. WRX automatic wagon with Stage 2 upgrade plus 50 shot of nitrous. it ran 12.88@104.
WRX manual sedan with Stage 3 upgrade ran 12.59@105
It was sunny day but temperature was little over 10'C(52F?)
My Best time was 14.15@102mph. It's little bit slow but I have tons of sound system stuck in the trunk and I myself weigh 200lbs. Otherwise, it's 100% stock. And temperature was little low too.(Isn't it good excuse?)
Rear tire pressure was 35 psi. (I even tried at 26psi but it was way too slower 14.2~14.6) and I launched at 2500 rpm.
By the way... Turbo RSX(my friend's car) ran 14.10 at best. There were some problem keeping up the tire grip with those prelude tires... I even beat him several times... But overall it seems he was ittle faster than me. I could see it while we both running.
If he change tires then, 13.xx no problem I think.
The owner of the shop, Johnson(Ultimate Racing), said he gonna build turbo system for 350Z soon too. I'll let you guys know.

ahhhh!! hahaha YES!
Only problem is that I go to school here in London, and go home (North of T.O) in a couple of weeks... I am in the thick of exams right now, so I won't be able to visit the track till summer sometime

Sweet pictures. So, you are friends with the owner of the Turbo RSX-S ? I have seen previous pics and dyno of that car on clubrsx.com (I owned an RSX-S before my Z). It is a very impressive settup, and a beautiful looking car. From what I remember he dynoed over 250hp to the wheels didn't he? I am sure with better tires he should improve those times. Do you remember what his 60' time was? Also, it's good to hear the Ultimate Racing will tackle the 350Z after seeing what they were able to do for the RSX-S...
