Big thanks to Flyin-Z from this board for pullin my ABS fuse so I could do a nice smokey burnout at E-town tonite.

13.9@97.1.... was the time, 2.7 mph down from my trap speeds of 99.8 a few weeks ago in colder weather. But my ET picked up, thanks to a nice set of used drag radials I got on ebay for $91.

There's a 13.70 in this car, but it's not happening until the fall when it cools down again and I can get those higher trap speeds.

I highly recommend drag radials over any other mod. I guarantee it will shave way more time off your ET's than high dollar exhausts/intakes....

Thanks again to Flyin-Z for your help!!!

Traction is a wonderful thing.....isn't it????

My friend and I were going to toss his slicks on my Z at the track last Saturday, but they closed early...so no go. I would have been DEEP in the 13s

Just curious what your 60' was with the drag radials, must of been really good to break into the 13's with 97Mph.. I just want to know how much better of a 60' is possible with DRs, I pulled a 2.047 with my stock tires..

Did you put drag radials on the stock 18's or did you buy 17's to put them on?? I didn't know they made drag radials in 18"!!!

You see that Brian, that's what we gotta do so you can do a burnout on the slicks.

DrRick

so you did a 13.9 and a 14.1 with an auto? i can do burnouts in my 6MT without pulling any fuse. at least i think i can........

Since when do DR's count as stock

yea...as long as it doesn't trip a MIL when we put it back in. The dealer tried to charge me $96 to clear the airbag light that we tripped last weekend....whoops..

Rick - there is big debate about this on freshalloy.com. in my own experience with the g, even if you have the vdc off, the slip light will still come on when doing burnouts. removing the fuse disables that. good luck!

At least no true smokeys with a 6MT and left foot braking.

The minute you tap your brakes...the power cuts out.

Luckily, one of the Z guys from this board helped me out- pulled the fuse and voila, smoke city.

The car has a 13.70 in it...the 97 mph trap speed is off by about 3 mph from my last time out when it was cooler.

Based on my years of bracket racing experience in my past life, I believe the car can go 13.70s or better @101 in cool dry air (60 degrees, low humidity). But the weather negated any gains...

I was going to go weds but I was stuck with the girl..... Imight go tonight if it doesn't rain... Hey, can I borrow your tires??????

I would still like to hear what your 60' was?

I don't think we're going to find out dude. I would guess from the time and trap that he ran a low 1.9xx 60ft...

Nealoc187

My guess is 1.91

jaxxxx

its a 2.0,I read it at g35driver.com, good run and good luck

mquilatan

I need some more seat time with them to get it down. On street tires I did 2.16

With the same tires, I was hitting 1.80s with my stang once I figured out the launch...

NYC-G

jaxxxx

yea with drag radials i'm sure you can hit lower than 2.0, drop your 1/4 some more

Daytona Blue Z in Bo

I sure would hope you can get under 2.0 with DR's, I pulled a 2.047 with my stock tires

how the heck did you run a 13.9@97mph with only a 2.02 60' time?? I pulled a 2.07 60' and trapped nearly 4mph faster and I only ran 13.9....
