First Mods to get when going for quarter mile racing?

First, there's nothing wrong with going to the track with a stock car. Second, a driver mod works really well for 1/4 racing. You can add all the parts you

First, there's nothing wrong with going to the track with a stock car.

Second, a driver mod works really well for 1/4 racing. You can add all the parts you want to your nismo but if you can launch or shift worth a damn then all the mods will be worth crap.

Really,
you mean learning to drive your car is actually important. Who would have guessed.
By the way,
other than highflow cats and lighter rotors, the Nismo needs no mods. Besides, what fool would mess with a pkg already built to dance.
I was simply comparing the diff in nature of two fine autos, the GT and the Z. The only reason I brought up the Nismo is cause its what I drive today. Have had two 350's and my share of 280's. I have driven my share of Z's. I never believe the crap you read or someone tells me, I do the homework myself.

Don't buy they hype, always know your adversary.

Hombre - you forgot to mention the oil cooler. It is a must on the track.
