I have to work on launching this car. I managed a 1.9 60' on my 87 turbo, but NA power band is certainly different. I would get massive wheel hop and spin. I need to practice when the heat isn't on.Anyways, I mananged to trap 104.5MPH but only a 14.075. I am dissapointed, but I will do better; first time in the 350z.

Best:
60' 2.283
1/8 9.233
MPH 80.14
1/4 14.075
MPH 104.50

With VDC On, DOH!
60' 2.452
1/8 9.775
MPH 76.30
1/4 14.853
MPH 96.86

 

Nice trap, your Z pulled 24.5mph the 2nd 1/8 mile, most NA Z's only do 20-21mph. Your 60ft needs work you already know that, try to achieve a 2.0 which I think is a good goal for street tires. With a 2.0 you'd be a 13.7 easy...

 

+1 on the trap.

What are your mods, just exhaust???

 

Just the Borla True Dual. I don't even have a pop-charger yet! I will be ordering this week.

All times:
14.191 @ 101.95
14.263 @ 100.17
14.853 @ 96.86 (VDC run)
14.075 @ 104.50
14.230 @ 104.87
14.238 @ 103.59

Apparantly having the VDC on for one run helped my trap speed on the rest!

 

Haha I remember when I was trying to warm up the tires with VDC on accidently and man was I embarassed.

That's REALLY good traps for just that mod.

 

I knew I should have had it ahead of time, I posted in the drag forum and there were some doubts. I promise I will work on my launch!

 

still again something fishy.... 24.5 in the last 1/8th naturally aspirated, i think that sounds like a 50 or 75 shot....



with just an exhaust.... hmmm


plus people dont trap 100 100 97 oh yeah 104.5 104

 

That's what I expected to hear, so maybe something was wrong with the track on those three runs. Plenty of people there to know I don't have nitrous.

 

Spinning a lot off the line would explain a little higher trap speed but 4.5mph is quite a bit.

 

Well I'll try to not do it next time. Sorry!

 

lol, I'm just trying to figure it out not bash you

 

Don't be sorry...let these guys deal with their detective work, you ran what you ran ...end of story.Not the first time i've seen a near stock Z trap that high.

 

Thanks - I know many people are so skeptical about anything, and I also understand that there are a lot of people out there that want to claim outrageous things. I really expected to run a high 13 at around 102mph and was a bit disappointed. I thought I was a good driver, but I have owned the 87 since 1997 and obvioulsy have a lot more practice in it. I'll get better.
