<< needs a lot of help in 1/4 mile

Solus · 04-24-2009, 10:58 PM

Car is bone stock, took out the tire and jack.

My reaction time sucks to be honest 0.9-1.2 typically.

Shifting right at about 7.5-7.7k

Windows up, radio and heat off, let out some air out of the tires... not a lot.. running at about 35 psi on the tires.

Yea im not a track genious and I am sure a few more people in here will give you some pointers. The RT thing will get better and your launches will get smoother over time. I wouldnt really try to rev the RPMs much and try to dump the clutch unless youre trying to do a burn out like you stated.

That might help a little bit and give you some other ideas. Few people said the windshield washer fluid alone is about 8 pounds. HaHa... But practice makes perfect. I know a few people on here said they were running 13.3s which isnt too far off from where you are. A little tweaking and I am sure you will be right around 13.5 before you start modding your Z.

Manual tranmission I assume. What was the temp and humidity? I can't help with the launch, as my automatic wont rev past 1500 while holding the brake down, but at the same time I was still able to pull of a 2.057 60, and a 13.369 quarter, temp was mid to high 40's though, I have a thread you can read all the details:

1/4 mile results inside.

But 13.8 does seem high. How many miles on the car?

RT doesn't matter.
