Stock 370Z Auto California Speedway Dragstrip

Tresfr

Decent day at the track with my completely stock 370Z automatic. The temp in Fontana was hotter than I thought it would be today at about 80 degrees. The bite was fair but not great.

I was happy to get a solid baseline with my 7AT while it was completely stock.

13.3 @ 105 - 2.08 60 foot

13.4 @ 106 - 2.10 60 foot

If the temp was 70 degrees when I made my best pass I think my car would have reached its maximum potential which I feel would be.

13.2 @ 107 - 2.00 60 foot

I feel good about the 370 because my friend who went with me who has a lot a drag race experience has a 2010 SS Camaro Auto with intake and exhaust and he ran a 13.5 @ 105 with a solid 60 foot 2 passes in a row. There was another SS Camaro and it also ran 13.4 at 106. Another 370Z went to the track with us that was a Manual Transmission with berk Exhaust and High Flow Cats ran 13.5 @ 104 but the printer messed up and did not print his time slip. He did have another run 13.7 at 103 that printed but his 60 foot on that pass was 2.29 which is a little high. The other manual 370Z with intake, exhaust, HFC in our group had traction and shifting issues and never put down a solid run.

I am installing a CBE at Amplified on Tuesday but I think I will stop there until there is a really good tune which may not come around for many months. It seems air mods especially on warm days don't make these cars faster and when you add long staging lines and warm weather may even slow them down. I also wonder if one air mod equals 15HP 7TQ and 2 air mods equal 18hp with a loss of torque.

Overall the Z did not disappoint
