Lol, your story reminds me of the first time I went to this track. There was some kid with a Stang GT pulled up in the staging lane and talked with another Stang guy about my Z like I couldn't hear him. They were laughing at my "slow @ss jap shît" and how he was gonna burn me.

I smoked his *** 6-7 times that night. He wasn't happy.

Zdayz 2014!!

:tup:

if you are dead set on better times then lose the camber.

i've thought of this many times but i DD my Z so it would hurt the overall drive of the car since it's set up for handling and it's too fun to throw into turns to change it. the Z is camber heavy in the rear so that mean less tire is contacting the track for traction on a drag strip launch. factor in the squat on the launch and you lose even more of the contact patch.

60 ft 1.800

Z

Boom :)

Zdayz 2014!!

like presto said, camber can make a big difference. I've made good passes on factory alignment and for a while tried -1.0 rear camber. It didn't seem to help as much on track launches, but definitely helped a lot on the 'street'.

Yeah, there will be morons at the track for sure.

My favorite was a while back when I was running 'stock' in the dead of FL summer. Had not made a pass yet and a younger guy in a Cobalt SS walks up to me.

guy: "hey you wanna run my car?"
me: "sure, what you got?"
guy: "that turbo cobalt... everything chevy makes is a POS and this is the only one that's any good"
me: "cool. so tell, me why did you pick me to run?"
guy: "oh, I usually run about the same times as 350Z's"
me: "so what kinda times do you run?"
guy: "you don't want to wait and see???" (cocky grin)

We lined up and and I ran a decent time... 13.6 @ 105?. He ran a 14.7 @ 107 mph.

me: what happened to you on that run?
guy: Let's run again, I'll turn up the boost.

I think I ran the same time again, he gained maybe a 0.1 et / 1mph.

Side note: The rules at PBIR are: 13.999 and faster requires a helmet. I knew he was full of sh*t when he pulled up to line WITHOUT a helmet!

I don't think your response helps him much, that and you probably did that with slicks + 7AT... he's got street tires and 6MT.

they say the same at the local tracks here about helmets but rarely enforce it.

sidenote i almost took down a viper last friday. hot and humid so the Z wasnt running well.

lost by .2 seconds :shakes head:

You didn't have to drive a Dodge home; that makes you a winner.

true.

although i keep looking at the hellcats and im feeling a moment of weakness when i read 707hp for only 60k. ugh it makes my manhood tingle lol

Yeah im looking forward to drunks driving that thing around. I need a used tank

if i get one i will be needing stock in a tire company. it's literally a burnout machine lol

The closest 1/4 mile yrack to me in greensboro is an hour away, ugh. Piedmont is an 1/8 about 10 mins away. Guesd i could practice my launches....

Do you need helmet for 1/8?

Wonder what my time will be at 821 ft versus 135ft at capital in md

He probably just needed driver mod.......he has plenty of trap speed to be in low 13's. Probably would have gave you a nice roll race, looks like he just couldn't get good launch.

A couple of months back I was getting sorry 2.5 60fts, getting 14.1 @ 107 mph LOL

Ran a 13.6 at 102 mph. With a 2.0 60 ft. Almost stock

couple weeks ago it was very hot and humid but somehow i ran a 13.50 @ 100mph wtf? lol

i ran my 12.89 at 111. :shakes head:

Was my 1st time at the track with this car. Never had rwd either. Shooting for atleast 13.4 next time

it's all about that 60' time lol

my best 1/4 times were back to back runs of 12.899 and 12.900 (consistent yea i know ;) )

both 60's were 1.950 and 1.959 respectively

Yeah I don't even remember what I launched at. Couldn't have been over 3k

i got no advice for you there. a manual launch and a auto launch are totally different lol :wtf2:

This is very true. Easier for you to be consistent and it seems the autos run a tad quicker

damn straight :tiphat:

Which track? Englishtown?

Hey, Ray. I ran a 11.7 @ 124mph. Can you update the list?:wtf2:

Please update the list. Does this place me 3rd on the list in speed? I have a slip for the 3rd highest stock mph (106.38 mph) & it beat Motor Trend's 105.

This list isn't being updated. I ran the same times as you did and posted about a year ago and it was updated then. Good runs tho!

I apologize for not immediately updating the list for each slip, I don't log on everyday like I used to. If you made a post a year ago and it didn't get updated, it probably got buried by newer posts. It works out better if you just shoot me a PM instead of posting.

Technically I should be in the list for stock with street tires also :p Made a 13.6 pass
Or atleast in modified. All I have is midpipe and axleback

With a better launch, I am confident 13.0 is achievable.

What are your mods?

Nizpro custom E85 Uprev tune, Nizpro Custom Exhaust, PPE RHD LTH, AAM R tune intakes, ID Injectors, return fuel system.
They are the power adders, I have other suspension mods like Shockworks coilovers, spl arms and so on.

updated both lists for dave and Z4... you have the fastest 2014 on the stock list!
