oh yes, mid teens for a modded 370 on slicks is definitely doable. without the slicks, i was getting eaten alive in all the long sweeping turns at the gle. i also have to lift for the esses while everyone can go flat out up the hill. i knew i was in trouble when i saw a 135 blowing by me in the turns. i dont plan to go back unless i have slicks on the car

the only way you can beat the c6 and gtr is if you outdrive them or the c6 has crap tires. i owned a c6 and i can tell you it is a lot faster than the z. gtr is just crazy talk.

only time i lifted in the esses was goin into turn 2. i lifed for like 2 seconds then floored it through turns 2 and 3, shifted into 5th right before turn 4. its def scary running flat out through there.

Actually I just rechecked the logs, maybe the car does have 2 teens with just RE11 and pads and a faster driver. On my last session, my optimal time (taken from all the splits was 2:20.16) and with the S/F at the backstraight. I was only able to get the 2:21.9 as my best lap though with the normal S/F.

What was your top speed? Mine was about 125-127. I am just going off my memory here. I short shifted slightly for T2 into 4th, I also have to lift for the left hander after, I then carried the car up the hill in 4th until I reach near the end where I have to grab 5th for a split sec. You do have smaller tires, so your gears are probably shorter than mine.

Here is a graph of the speed and the long. G (accel and decel)

Alright so Berk used to update this thread but they have been super busy and haven't been on here much at all so I am going to re-start this thread under my name so I can update it more frequently.

Here's the new thread...

Thanks Mike!

Sorry to hijack the thread, but it's always good to hear about people's track experiences since there aren't many 370 out on the track.

Oh yeah, my VIR time is 2:17 flat, don't short change my .1 sec hehehe just kidding.

Well someone needs to read the original post....:stirthepot:

"Any lap time not given in the thousandths will be substituted with 9s. Example: 1:28.3xx will automatically be 1:28.399."

on the back straight i was getting a little under 140 on my speedo (i think) but it was a little slower bc of the rims and tires. but i didnt check my speedo every lap. i was to focused on trying to get through the bus stop. i had a problem being consistant on following the line coming out of there.

Hey chris what club are you going with in september?

I've have 2 sets of tires, one is shorter than stock, the other taller, so the speedo isn't particularly accurate and you can notice the difference in gearing.

I'll be there the 12th & 13th with COMSCC. If you're serious about learning they have some of the best instructors in the region.

You can run 1 day or 2. Time trial is in the afternoon of the 2nd day and is optional, but is a lot of fun if you have never done one before. They then go to open track format after the time trial until track close at 5/5:30.

i am going off by memory, but i think you would be about 10mph too fast on the speedo if you have the 285 30 18 at 140mph.

Suggest we lock this thread so that content moves to the new one Mike started

Reminder here: http://www.the370z.com/track-autocro...ml#post1252403

Should we keep discussion in this thread so as to not clutter the other one?

No!

Kidding... do as you please, of course

... but FYI I did drop AK a note suggesting he close this one

And hopefully he will sticky the other one.
