Guys, last night I took my Z to the drag strip and here is the story. I made 12 passes and my best time was a 14.11 @ 102 mph with a 2.3 60ft time (patetic!!). I have owned a mustang, rx-7 and a honda crx wich I drag raced all of them and my 60ft times were acceptable. I used to get 2.1's on the crx a FWD car. The point is I just simply could not get a good launch out of my car, it would either wheel hop,bog down or spin out. Someone needs to make a Z drag racing school or a inctructional video on how to launch this car. I sure I am not alone. Anyway thanks for reading my frustration. I need some tips from some of you that get sub 2.0 60ft times out of this car.
