I wasn't that pissed cause I had just run a (at the time) best ET of 12.89 the previous run.

I just kinda laughed at it. :icon17:

Back in the seventies I ran a 10.01"et on my dragbike. It took almost two years before I finally got the three-digit time card. That was hard to follow.

Oh well it's not that bad then. If 13.001 was the best you did though that day, then you'd probably be more pissed.

I went to the drag strip last Friday, but had no luck. Not sure what the problem was but I had like no traction at all. Didn't get even a single decent launch. Was getting wheel hop at first, then after lowering the tire pressure the wheels just kept spinning and spinning after at each launch. Tried shifting early to the next gear, but wheels were spinning all the way into 4th. Temps were in the 50s and my summer tires were pretty worn (2/32 or less tread left). Very frustrating day so I just left after like 5-6 horrible runs. Best I managed was 13.45 @ 108 even with the traction issues. That was my first run and things just seemed to get worse and worse further into the night.

call me crazy but why not just leave it in Drive and let the car do all of the shifting?

I've tried it before and it's actually slower that way. Not sure if it's just me, but I feel like the car gets a little more aggressive when you put it in manual mode. Though that's probably because I put it in manual mode whenever I want to do some spirited driving.

The drag section here is kind of slow so
 
I changed my rear end from a 3:90 to 4:08. I have 100% stock suspension, but I did a common sense adjustment/change that may help me get 1.60's 60foot times. As soon as the weather clears, (tired of the rains & humidity) I will try to go under my 12.504 record run. I'll be at Atco & or Raceway Park. Company welcome, so would witnesses that can verify a mostly stock Z.....:)

Say when. I'm on the verge, too. TIming has to be right.

Good luck for you. 1.6 60" times are envious, indeed. :)

Sure thing, as soon as cool calm weather comes. If it comes:confused:
I need 1.60 times because I'm UNDER 300whp. Maybe 290? Stock intake, test pipes with stock exhaust minus muffler. Muffler was lost to the flood:)
With cooler air, my new 4:08 gears & a slight adjustment to my stock suspension might help me achieve my goal. Under 12.5 or die.:icon14:

put a set of 4.08 gears in your car and it turns into a monster
