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.
