Frank, in the 2 runs that I saw him, was very consistent. 12.89X and 12.90X.

Shahid ran a 13.1XX for his first run, then this 14.4XX

you should man.. the drag strip is a ton of fun. its a great way to learn shift points for your car. you can learn what rpm in what gear is best to shift at to maximise responce for the next gear... autocross is also tons of fun, u can learn breaking points for your car, what it can and can not do at different speeds threw different corners. it helps a lot when your having some fun doing spirited runs on back roads..

Im up to my eyeballs in snails haha.

Seriously though that turbo is sick. Custom built to hopefully provide the sickest spooling single turbo setup the forum has seen. Well worth every penny spent.

I've got a decent amount of drag strip experience in my Z, like 50+ runs. I've been having this same problem with wheel hop for a while now. Never even thought that it could be because of a lack of LSD. Anyways, I think I'm done with drag racing in my Z. Gonna stick to HPDE's.

Wheel hop is not caused by a LSD....

wheel hop for dummies or why solid axel RWD rules the dragstrip

Well I may have been calling it wheel hop by mistake. I will admit I'm still a bit of a newb when it comes to some of these things.

Assuming what happened in the video is what's been happening all along, yes. You were definitely spinning one wheel, and the other simply wasn't.

Urban Dictionary: one wheel wonder

Listen to this video: the shuddering of the car is an obvious indication of wheel hop.

Also, I'm glad to see that "one-wheel-wonder" was actually defined in urban dictionary, and I wasn't just making it up lol
