Thats one NASTY GTR! I love the ride along clips at the end. Funny seeing the reactions.

Went to the track last night
12.92 @ 108.7
52 degress for temp and the track temp was 61 degress.
No traction at all best 60 ft 2.235. I spun all the way down the track.
There was no glue on the track at all.
very few cars made it into the 12's

Z check your tune, do you datalog? I have seen a few Z's get way off from the target afr... mine became pig rich, was shooting insane flames, and was down about 15whp from a few months prior... re-tuned and got it right back.

Yes i put in the same fuel curve as the 12.42 run. I loaded it before i drove to the track.
the car did run rich as it was running 12.7 A/F in 4th gear. It usually runs at 13.2.
It would not have helped as i spun all the way down the track.

I have not been to the track latley as my car started making some terrible grinding sounds the lst few weeks between 750 and 3000 rpm.
I thought that i blew a rod bearing or main bearing.
I had to remove some of the mods and yesterday i took it in to the dealer expecting the worst.
The TC converter was on ok, but they found a crack in my flywheel.
They called today and have covered it under warenty and have ordered me a new one.
This why i have not started to install the stage 2 GTM.

'grats on the free flywheel! That big ole thing shouldn't have cracked though even with all the hard launches. Just curious, what mods did you leave on the car?
