First Mods to get when going for quarter mile racing?
Hey everyone, was wondering what bolt on setups i could have. So far i got a bone stock nismo, going to choose to stick with NA path due to lack of funds. I'm not too knowledgeable about the aftermarket parts out there, but anyways so far all i can think of is, an HFC, pulleys, intake, and long tube headers? not sure if all those together would work, are there any other bolt ons I am missing that I could get? Looking forward to going to the tracks soon, but don't wanna go there and be like, "yea im all stock" hehe.

Besides what you said, sticky tires. I'm not talking slicks at this point, just a nice sticky DOT tire. I used to like Nitto 555r's, but I'm sure there are many brands.

ah i see, also do you know if all HFC's are compatabile with the nismo exhaust? or will it require welding? Also im not sure, but would your cat back exhaust still be functional if you went the route of long tube headers?

if what your looking to do is drag the car, perhaps your first mod should be sell it and buy a muscle car?

Trade in on a 2011 Mustang GT. That's a low 12 second car out of the box.

ah i see, anyone know a realistic price for installations of long tube headers? I usually have my half mechanic friends doing my installs, but they said that these they couldn't do. Pretty sure I may go with LTH first, once i get enough funds. This is going to be a daily driver, i just like to go do 1/4 casually, not really hardcore about it, but jus something to do being the adrenaline junky that i am .
Wondor if I can pull 11's NA with this car, think its possibile? |

Fastest reported time is Z eliminator with full bolt ons, gears and some different tires I believe, he was running 12.7ish I believe.
NA this car will probably not break below 12.5.

C6 Vettes are low 12 second cars. You will get your butt kicked by any C6 driver that knows what he's doing.

Your main competitors are going to be pre-2011 Mustangs, Camaros, Evo, STi, etc.
I say pre-2011 because those from factory are going to be you with bolt ons probably.

This car is fast but not a 1/4 mile kinda fast dude.
This is a twisty king not a drag king. Shoulda gone with a Mustang GT if your into low cost and blistering fast straight line running. I here the new Mustang GT is M3 0-60 fast. But the Z will walk away from the GT on the twisties. Never driven a car that will carve like this one does. The harder you push the corners the more she digs in and turns. Thats with the less than impressive stock tires. |
