I was referring to the person that owns that 600+ H.P. car. Also people can't just say that traction can NOT be gotten by a 370 Z. That's crazy, there are cars including ZZZZZ's with much more H.P doing 8's & 9's at the track

OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

VINNIE TEN with their boosted car are/did do low 9's. That's my point! 600 H.P. is great but you have much more powerful cars & ZZ's doing 1.4's, 1.5's & I found NO PROBLEM, with my nothing of a car doing 1.6's ....... So fix that problem, don't say we can't.

By the way, 3/10's gain at the start 60' = apx. 5/10's at the finish line!!!! FACT !!!! APX. maybe more????
I am not saying you CANT... I am only saying you cant on 18-19" drag radials with this car... CURRENTLY. I am working towards a fix for that.

But yes, with a dedicated drag setup, proper alignment and slicks... ya for sure these cars can hook up great. Its just that its not what people in this community want. They want a full street car to hookup something closer to like what a vette or a viper can do on street tires. They can do it because of their different suspension profiles that do not camber 30 degrees when you try and launch!

If we can get the typical 60's down to 1.7-1.8 on normal 18" drag radials... it will be epic for the 370z scene because all of a sudden we will start seeing people get more excited about drag racing. As it stands, its really damn frustrating to even bother with how poor these cars hook up without full slicks. We need solutions that dont involve changing the rear brakes and putting on 15-16" wheels... and suddenly we will see a greater number of Z owners taking their cars to the track.
