ah yes, (friendly) competition. a little competition makes us all better in the end. :tup:

and congrats on the #1 spot.

ohhh Its going down!! :driving:

Damn, now I kinda wanna get into this ;) My car will be back with more power and less weight.

:facepalm:

lol@your pm

Do you have problem with me or the way I am running the forum? I'm always here to discuss it.

Well seeing as you didn't bother to state something other than the facepalm, I don't see why his confusion is unfounded. You could be smart and agreeing that Alberto was acting like a douche, or you could be an Alberto fanboi (which I'm taking a lucky guess you are) and trying to make some point as if AK doesn't know what he's doing. Furthermore, you are obviously trying to start more **** like Alberto by publishing a PM out here for everyone to see, as if AK is a fool for asking a simple question.

Another obvious troll is obvious?

Jnaut. Why don't you grab some rpf1's and radials and run an 11.9 already ????

I want to see jnaut run a stock 6MT ;)

I also want to get the #1 spot now, just need to beat my time by .05 seconds. If I replace my all seasons in the rear, adjust tire pressures, and wait for the right weather I think I can do it :tup:

if you replace tires , you are no longer stock :stirthepot:

We have to wait until around November until the weather starts to become favorable again down here in south Florida. Maybe I'll have 4.08's + uprev tune by then. I'm going to start saving my pennies now.

And its good to see everyone is now more motivated to run their cars after seeing the rankings. :)

Thanks J! I had fun it had been about three years since I ran a car in the 1/4.

I used to setup a water sprayer for my intercooler in the summer. The water coupled with the air passing by has a nice cooling effect. It does not help as much as cool temperatures, but it was noticeable.

Man I hope I can get down to a 1.8 60' with this car that is nice. Im just confused that you only ran a 11.9 with TT and that quick of a 60'.

He has non stock all seasons in the rear now.

:werd:

I guess that puts me at #1 in the worse than stock category :bowrofl:

If I put tires on they will be the stock tires. :tup:

Ok, maybe this is a dumb question but am I to believe that guys on here are running high 12's on all stock Z's?

Yes. I did and I have the time slip to prove it :tup:

what if they are lighter than stock?

yes, but it's important to look at run conditions when evaluating times.

I don't really know. The grip can't be as good though.

If I upgrade to sport package wheels/tires, it still counts as stock right?

stock is stock, if you replace you tires with the original ones that came on the car then it is stock...if not then its modded. I feel the only exception is a oil cooler as it doesn't make power just allows you to keep what was there already.

GTM just dynoed the stage 2 SC @ 523 rwhp.
When it get to me it should put me low 11's. or better
Just have to wait till he ships it too me.
this just means that im going to have to get my 7 AT built or it will not last long and probaly have to put differnet gears in the diff.

Z

So would you consider my car with 2 all season tires as modded?

grip probably wasn't much of a factor on your run though.

Not on my first run, but I was on the last 3. I think it was because of track prep though.

technically yes, because you are no longer running "stock tires" regardless if they are better or worse...

Hmmm... I guess I have to decide what to do with the 'stock' class. I'll have to think this over...

just name it stock/street tire class....

whats funny is my best time came with my open diff.. i wonder if thats better off... in the 350 world the fastest DE Z is with an open diff too which is i think a 12.9 or 13.0 which is about as impressive as jnauts 12.2

:iagree:

Maybe list the tires as well for that section. Or maybe just list them for like the top 3 or top 5 times.

Grips not a huge issue, and you deal with extra drivertrain loss.

Sorry blades but your car is modded....


stock is stock

now go put your factory rubber back on and run the "beep". haha

Taking the car to the track in a few hours to see how she does! Well keep you guys updated.

:(

If I had it I would, but I bought the car like this :p

Good luck :tup:

yea, its damn hot here right now 92degrees yuck . We will see how it goes tonight with billy's car...

Ok ,first pass in billys car

1.94 60 ft
11.73 @ 122.59.

On street tires..... oh I'm mf on hahaha

:eek:

Congrats to the both of you :tup:

Damn nice! How about you get some grip out of my car! hehe I guess the suspension makes a big deal!

The trap is surprisingly close to mine which is kinda surprising. His car felt really fast!
Awesome Job Jay, let us know how the rest of the night goes.

Raul, in the cars denfense. It had no cool down time plus oil temp are 220... hotttt

Yeah, considering it makes like 40whp more I was expecting a bit more. That explains it though.

What flavor hatorade is that Raul?
