Now that I think about it, I'm probably being too generous. Here is the current list of top FI times:

1) SharpByCoop --GTM TT S2-- 08 G37S coupe 5AT 11.130 @ 123.93 mph 1.677 60ft DR
2) TerribleONE ------FI TT-- 10 Tour ----- 6MT 11.493 @ 124.32 mph 1.766 60ft ET street
3) *Billy02987 --GTM TT S2-- 09 Tour Sport 6MT 11.736 @ 122.59 mph 1.942 60ft street - driven by jnaut
4) Nismo370 -----GTM TT S1-- 09 Nismo ---- 6MT 11.759 @ 127.14 mph 2.157 60ft street
5) Brazilbro ----GTM TT S1-- 09 Base Sport 6MT 11.812 @ 126.51 mph 2.020 60ft street
6) 98intrigue ---custom ST-- 10 40th ----- 6MT 11.852 @ 119.61 mph 1.880 60ft DR
7) Seb@SZ -------GTM TT S2-- 10 Base Sport 6MT 11.961 @ 122.13 mph 1.843 60ft DR
8) *RCZ --------Stillen SC-- 09 Tour Sport 6MT 12.207 @ 116.34 mph 2.034 60ft street - driven by jnaut

This car just isn't good at all from a standstill.

The Z is not like those Civics with swaps and FI combine. If you want a ten second car, go buy a 91-95 hatchback civic then go from there.........VTAK POWARRRRRRRR

Luckily, it has very balanced handling.

Yeah, unlike this old thing :|

11.96 with basic intake, tune and NT-05's

I think I'm going to take one of those classes that teaches you how to perfectly hard launch and race drive.

I'm so scared of hard launching the car. So easy to burn the hell out of the clutch if it doesn't grab right. The idea of revving the car to 4000RPM and just dropping the clutch worries the hell out of me.

[b1adesofcha0s]

They have classes for that?

Cost?

The ones where it's an all-day thing you pay like $1000 and you get to drive exotics etc.

I'd rather do 1 on 1 instruction in my car. Lard launching my old sentra was easy (plus I wasn't worried about breaking it). Hard launching this thing - makes me nervous. I've only done it once or twice and I always say a short prayer before I do it. I'd just like to be more comfortable I guess.

Yeah, I don't care about driving 5 supercars one time. I wanna know how to maximize my car.

[dmhenderson]

I'll shop around. Maybe if enough people get interested, we could do a group buy thing.
Bear in mind I'm still relatively new to the world of sports cars.

You wouldn't want to do that, anyway. Not on street tires (you'll just spin) and not on anything else or you'll just break the rear end.
