If one has ART or LTH's, a good CBE, CAI and tune I don't know why we don't see more 12.5's or 12.7 times without using rear gears.

The only thing I can think of is that even with my ART pipes and the F.I. exhaust I can pretty easily spin in 2nd without getting on it real hard.. so I can imagine on a slick track with high temps it wouldn't work... but as said, not everyone posts their times either.

If a 370z owner takes out their cats, adds an exhaust, & gets a tune, every young guy with a manual or auto trans. should turn in the 12's. Add 4:08 gears, plus tires & you're in mid 12's. There is a guy in Florida JNAUT

who has a shop, that would be happy, & very able/experienced to help you do that.

The only people that don't post their time are people who.......you can finish this sentence

As far as killing the car. Going through 4 gears, only 12/13 seconds, with an engine cut off, you couldn't kill it no matter how hard you try. Without TT/S/C or Nitro, it's almost impossible to damage the engine. 60 months or 60k miles warrenty. How many keep our cars longer?

"killing a car to have fun" What does that mean???? Laughing to get face wrinkles

Golfing to pull a muscle

skiing to break a leg

sex to get tired

Get real....
Don't tell anyone, but one road race puts more wear on the drivetrain, suspension, tires & brakes than drag racing ALL year.

any kind of racing is going to be hard on the drivetrain... some i'm sure less than others... but either way it's going to wear it out faster.

Than why are you here?

Wait, aren't you the guy that recently started a thread ASKING how to change the rubber part of the windshield wipers?

Can you pump your own gas?

I live my life more than a quarter mile at a time. I prefer to turn and hit the brakes at speed whenever I could.

I asked that question? I live in NJ PT, I don't need to pump my own gas. What I do know is that I didn't buy an 08 350 when the 370 was available to me. If you are going to troll, at least come ready with a real car that no one is going to make fun of. (at least my rental Prius made it into the top 5 at rallyx out of 25)
