Haha with all the guys that went to 5.0's the n/a Wpuld
Be just as long for those guys ! |
I'm thinking of bying & drag racing a 370z
I'm thinking of trying a 370z with bolt-ons(only)class. I like being in that almost stock class, because the driver is the most important mod. A 500h.p. Z getting beat by a 600h.p Z, reflects more on the builder & the owner's wallet.
Looks like there's not much going on here at this time. Nothing exotic, maybe I'll do an after market exhaust this time. I'm thinking that I might be able to be in the 12.1 to 12.4 range. Looking forward for some fun. As always, I would welcome 350z/370z racers to join me. MD, N.J. N.Y. drag strips. Keep you posted. BLACK or WHITE color....:) |

I'll go to MD. I'd like to meet Mike & some others. As far as more racing, how about Atco. It's close to MD. I did make an appearance last spring at that small MD track. It was a cold, very windy(sideway) day. Two runs, 12.6's then because of much side wind & long trip home, I left after just two runs. A yellow Camaro there got a suprise when he lost:) one car lenght 12.6 vs 12.7 Now I'm getting psyched........... |

I'd be ok with something within MD itself. Of course, we'd have to wait till March when the tracks open up again. |
In a couple of weeks I should know what I 'm doing/which way I'm going. If it's a 370z then 2011 or 2012? Same mods as 08 but change to 4:08 gears plus an exhaust of my design/idea. If it's a 2011, I'l need an oil cooler. Which is best? Do tinted windows help in the 1/4 mile? Got to go now.
Later...... |
Andre, are you coming down to FL this winter?
tomorrow night is test & tune, with a low of 52 degrees... ;) |
My season up here is over. Next year the target is mid 11.s.
I bought a new 7 AT with 100 miles on it and GTM is building it into a stage 4 for me. I would like to make a pass with it to see if it will get me into the 12.2's with the N/A set up. But the car will have the GTM stage 2 SC on it and im going to be running 11 lbs boost I got a price for the roll bars set up 2500.00. It was a good year at the track this year. Z |

LS swap=very expensive/not street reliable/must be automatic:(. What to do? 370Z ? Last year, even with all my problems, front wheels/tires didn't fit-wide radial front tires & reg ply slicks don't mix=I was all over the track-second gear was broken(that was a bitch)-learned later/in spring that I was not using the slicks the proper way. With all that, I still had a good time. Would love to come, but with no car, I won't. Maybe next year. Strip club a must! Raceway Park N.J. in spring???? |
Atco is 2.5 away from me in NY. sounds like a good Meeting point lol
Long island people are screwed out of close tracks due to rich people bitching about noise until 11pm :-( |
It took me 1 & 1/2 hours from E. Meadow to Raceway Park N.J. Coming back, 4&1/2 hours:)
|
I used to live about 30 min from Raceway Park, but now I'm about 20 hours away!
On the brightside, I live 20 min from another nice track. |
Made a few passes tonight. I did pretty decent, weak ET's but I managed to trap 108+ mph most of the night.
Finished the night with a 12.962 @ 108.52 mph, 1.975 60ft. The rest of the night was mostly low 13's @ 108 mph, with weak 60ft times. Getting better at launching the car w/ the gears & new tires, I probably won't go back until I get a tune. mods: Stillen oil cooler Berk HFC's JWT flywheel 4.08 gears SPL solid diff bushings 285/35/19 RE-11's HPS post-MAF tubes DBA 2pc front rotors I need to get my car tuned ASAP!!!! |
I'm prepping to go to Atco this saturday (Dec 3rd). Weather appears to be clear and heading toward low-fifties.
