Default 13.944 1/4 mile.

Half tank of gas, 19" wheels, AEM intake and it was the first time on the track for me and my car.

Here is the best result out of 10 tries:
R/T 1.128
60 2.194
330 5.984
1/8 9.044
MPH 88.10
1/4 13.944
MPH 101.02

Other runs I had 14.037, 14.103, and I also had 15.290.

One of the guys, who works at the track, told me to hold gas all the way down when shifting. That is how I got 13.944. Not sure if it is healthy for the car.

Nice times dude...but there is no way you ran a 88mph trap in the 1/8mile....more like 78....typo??

Holding the gas while shifting will wear on your clutch more...but it can net you slightly faster times...

You're almost right on line with my times....except I had a much better 60'

LOL 88.10 in the 1/8!!

Just curious, how many miles on your Z?

I did a best of 13.98@99.49 but hit a 9.037@79.93 for my 1/8 (3 hours earlier that day before the fog I got a 14.11@100.86 ).. I had a 2.047 60' on my 13 run, but my trap speed was a bit low due to what I think was the humidity since fog was rolling in. If it was dry I think I would of trapped a MPH or 2 higher and maybe .1 less - But very similar run as me, but I lifted between shifts

Your reaction time was 1.128
I Pulled a .520 last week

So it just bounces off the revlimiter while you shift?

DAMN...82mph in the 1/8....and only 101 in the 1/4...that's kinda wierd. Did you let off at the end or something?? If I trapped 82mph in the 1/8, I'd be doing about 103mph in the 1/4.
