I don't think mine have broke traction on the 3-4 shift yet alone 4-5 or 5-6. SLippery roads maybe?

It was a piece of cake for me after the stock Potenzas had 10K miles (never been in a position to try it 5-6)

Willing to bet it's just his light coming on and not really breaking traction. Just a thought.

Have you really lit them up. Done some donuts or brake stands? If you roast your tires you can mess up the vulcanization of the rubber and they will be runined.

370z drag race - YouTube This is me when i had my 370z. Is it this sound you are hearing when i shift? As in the tires chirping?

theboydiddy 04-27-2012 08:01 PM

no i have not really lit them up
no i haven't done donuts with it. not interested
no the pavement isn't wet neither.
the light comes on yes, but i feel the car holding it back. i hear my tires, it just feels wrong. i feel like i lose a lot power when switching gears as well and i had my brother watch me before. he said the same thing. the tires slip too much when i switch gears as well. and i gotta have at least 80% on those tires.
I've tried doing with "VDC" (i think is called) off too.

i raced my boy on the track in english town jersey just to play around.
he had an audi 2008-2009 A4 sedan Automatic. i lost. every time i switched gears he got ahead of me. -_- i was pissed because i know the Z is much lighter and faster then his car.
i did give him a head start.... but still

i think i ran low 14's. Track was prepped horrible that night (as you can see the guy mopping the coolant that was left by one of the cars) That blinking light is the "airbag" warning light because i removed the passenger seat.
