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. |

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) Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

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... 370Z Top Ten Track Records - Road Courses

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. |

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. http://www.comscc.org/events/ 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.

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