For those of you with FI - Who's in the 10's

LafitteZ · 12-05-2011, 10:21 PM

I cant get the power to the ground for nothing in my tt. the best iv ran was a 12.01 on low boost 450 whp at 122 mph. Kuhmo tires. Im confident on slicks in high boost ill get in the 10s if I dont break anything.

Na as he hasent really driven it much since then.He thought he had a rod knock shortly after that and just gave up on the car....but it actually was a timing chain tensioner that had given up.

TT 370z's just have too much horsepower for the RWD platform. clearly there are no RWD Cars that are capable of running better than an 11 second 1/4 mile. nor is it possible to put down over 500whp on a RWD car.

My car puts down 542 whp! Nobody has pushed the 370 far enough to see its breaking point so you really cant judge the 370 just yet. Its too friggin expensive to break in my opinion. It will come tho. Im sure most of us after blowing 15 grand on turbo setups the last thing we want is a broken car. This is my opinion of course.

i hear you there. as soon as you build up a car everyone else (who has no financial stake in your car) wants you to track it.

track=where things break.

Instead of worrying about going to slicks why not invest in the GTM traction control system which has proven to work?!?!

Here is a video of a 40th making 550rwhp with traction control. The racelogic system allows the user to use launch mode or select the amount of wheel spin they want to allow. The system cuts both ignition and timing to allow for the most power to reach the ground while maintaining traction... just a thought...

Because slicks = even more traction.

b1adesofcha0s · 12-06-2011, 02:58 PM

Slicks + traction control = brainsplode

Slicks also mean more stress on supporting components... which equals faster failures...

m4a1mustang · 12-06-2011, 02:59 PM

Traction control won't let you do this:

C'mon, lets get some wheelie bars on a 370Z!!!
