Hey henry, s2000 with a turbo might run 10s...:p

Ask Red_Zed, he will tell you :tup:

I did a test launch in an empty parking lot at lunch at about 2000 and the car felt utterly out of control. The tires spun/smoked and the whole rear end spun sideways before I could jerk it back in line. One wheel left a big burnt rubber spot on the pavement - the other nothing. Weird.

Oh I know it brother, Im telling you man, I'm seriously going to be into doing something big with the s2000.

One wheel peel... guess the VLSD didn't know what to do with that power

Stock diff ftw! The new one should fix this.

:icon17:

This came about because I went over to check out my new office since we're moving after the holiday break. The building and lot were completely empty so I figured "why not".

Should have given me a call, I could have brought the GoPro. :driving:

Nice. My office is moving next month.

So I live about 1.5 miles from my job currently. With the office move, I will be about .5 miles from work. I will literally be able to walk to work (lol).

Also anyone have any idea whether 275s will fit on the front nismo rims without rubbing (stock height)?

I hate you.

I second this. 30 miles one way for me :(

I gotta admit, I laughed. They were talking about moving us to Frederick or Rockville which would have meant an actual commute but instead they actually picked pretty much the only place that's literally closer to me than my current office.

Honestly with a half mile commute to work, I'd ride my bike or walk. Not worth it to drive!

Tires are at my house. Hopefully getting them all mounted tonight!

Yeah, terrible for the car!

My office is probably moving in the spring from Columbia to Owings Mills :|

Once the weather is nicer I will be walking for sure. Probably not so much in January when we move.

This is exceptionally funny because I used to live in the apartments right across the street from my current office. I moved down the road a bit...and the office is moving with me.

nice!:tup:

Did a bit more testing with launching tonight. Took it up to 3000rpm with no one else around at half clutch and dropped it and the whole rear end went nutso. First it swung right and without me adjusting the wheel swung back left (tires squealing) and then it jumped forward enough to scare me a little - almost felt like it was going to go airborne. Managed to shift just under the redline laughing like a lunatic and 2nd-4th were normal. Did this 3-4x before I got the hang of it and now I need gas. Looks like 3000rpm is the sweet spot.

*this was in a parking lot not a public road

Not sure why you are doing clutch drops. You're on street tires.

It's also cold, so if you're still on your summer tires you have little/no grip.

All of the traction showed up today. Performance all seasons for the snowburu and my S04s for the Z.

daaaaaaamn.

Drove back to Buffalo on all seasons in my Silverado during the storm on Saturday, in 2WD. Who needs snow rubber?

People in Alaska, I suppose...

Sent from my Galaxy S3

Parking lot.
Tires I'm about to replace.
Fun.

Gotcha. If you want to practice real launches quickly feather the clutch as you roll onto the throttle. :tup:

Practiced that from a few stoplights last night on the way home :|

zero to speed limit of course...

Harder to do than you might guess.

10s are nothing. :stirthepot:

a 10 second 1/4 is more impressive than I think most people realize. Takes quite a bit of work, power, parts, and practice.

Im sure it is.. we're gonna see though.

:werd:

Lol... depends on the car.

2013 GTR... 1/4 mile in 10.8 @ 125 mph

But not a whole lot to do in that car to get those kinds of times consistently. Kinda like a Ronco Rotisserie Oven. Just set it and forget it.

GT-R is a beast.

Or a plain ole 5.0. Spend a few bucks on a blower and a set of ET streets and you're there. Hell they even get there NA (with a bit of weight reduction.)

The Z, though... yes 10s would be impressive. AFAIK the quickest 370 is running low 11s.

Seriously...talk about an over-generalization lol.

In which case, you could argue that the Z is a terrible platform compared to so many other choices.

Lol I know, what I meant was an out of the box car that doesn't cost a crapload of money that can run 10's.

Low 11's is pretty damn quick in a 370. Is that in a built 7AT?
