Not a drag car
I went to the strip tonight and ran it.
I did a 13.8 @ 103 with a 2.1 sixty ft.
There was some other HR 350z's running faster times(around 13.4-13.1 stock). I was looking at their time slips and I was about dead even until the 1/8 and they started to pull ahead.
As far as drag racing goes, downforce + big wheels = suck.
I want them to come play with me at an autoX and track meet

I agree, it's a sweet *** car, definitely made for rippin up turns.
I took mine out for the first time a few nights ago and really ripped on her, and the car will put lengths on any other car in it's class through turns, guaranteed. It's stiff as a board, even when pulling through a chicane at 80. That's definitely what it's made for.

I love the handling. But I've seen a few crack into the 13.4's and my competitive nature is kicking in. I have to learn how to break 13.5 
I did find some autocross clubs in my area. I can't wait to start doing that again. I miss autox.

More like practice makes perfect. The car is a low 13 sec car, you just need to learn how to get it down there better.

The nismo is heavier, but neither car weighs that much. The nismo is around 3300-3400lbs and the base maybe around 3100-3200lbs.

-- 108nismoz's wife-- The 13.4 i ran was with spare tire in.
rt .321
60 2.094
330 5.754
1/8 8.757
mph 82.49
1000 11.296
1/4 13.447
mph 104.53
i definately felt like i could have done way better- my reaction time sucked on that run, i think when i go back i should be able to run 13.3ish because of the practice. these numbers here were my first time at the strip in this car.
