I went out to San Antonio Raceway last night and had a blast running my 370z down the 1/4 mile. The NT05 tires I got mounted are so sticky I had some major wheel hop on the first and third run. Scared the $hit out of me. I launched from 1500 and let out the brake straight to full throttle. Got some nasty wheel hop thought I was going to break my rear diff so I got of the throttle shifted to 2nd back into full throttle, more wheel hop so I botched the run and coasted to the end of the track at like 59mph. I didn't get any wheel spin just the wheel hop when launching too hard.
After that buttered the launch and rolled into the throttle until 3500-4000rpm then WOT through 4th ran low to mid 13's all night trapping consistent 108-109mph! Best time for the night was
13.165 2.04 60'ft @ 108.85 mph. The fastest trap speed and time was
13.23 2.18 60'ft @ 109.49mph. I really need to work on my launch I never got my 60'ft in the 1.9x range and most of the night is was above 2.1x. I think I will be able to run a high 12 if I can launch correctly. I need a lot of practice but the car runs great I was so impressed with it only having ERZ HFC, and (SRI) Takeda Intake. I thought the SRI Intakes did nothing for our car but look and sound good, 109.49mph trap cough, cough.
Hoping for 111mph trap once I add the Invidia Gemini CBE.
My wife videoed my runs but the camera is not all that great. Still cool to watch I will try to get those up later.
Here are some stats on other vehicles that ran last night.
2010 Hennessey (Supercharged) Camaro 12.6 (Sorry can’t remember the Trap Speed)
C5 Corvette LTH(Cat less), CBE, Intake Tune 12.6 @ 112mph
2005-2009 Mustang Exhaust, Intake 14.5 @ 98mph
I have a video of the Hennessey Camaro’s 12.6 run against the 2005-2009 Mustang Exhaust, Intake 14.5 @ 98mph. The Mustang was not having a good night he didn’t even break out of the 14’s and it was definitely a V8 you could here it in the video.
