With the 2500 DA correction the car is trapping 106 and doing 13.2 which is pretty respectible.

Yeah, im goin to a VIper Truck meet in Panama City May 2011, all makes and models welcome, some great friends of mine. We'll be renting out the track to play around, i won the N/A class this year with my 10, imma run the Z and see what she'll do down there, 13.7 is rediculous for 2.0 second 60' times

The Nismo just isn't a good drag car period. I found this out last night when I went to the strip. It's due to the fact that there is absolutely no weight transfer due to the stiff suspension. The rear doesn't squat whatsoever... I've made mine even worse by putting lowering springs on it. I made 5 passes my best 60 ft. time was 2.128 and 13.827 @ 102.8. I also ran...
13.840 @ 103.16
13.892 @ 102.86
13.893 @ 102.68
13.934 @ 103.90

So I was fairly consistent. The car just isn't meant to drag. I dragged many of street cars but just can't launch the Nismo hard enough to get a good ET. Still had fun and was still faster than 90% of the cars up there but was disappointed at the same time. The car would've beat just about anything if we were doing a 30 MPH roll.. oh well need to take it to a road course where it will really shine. I'm gonna post some videos of the drags here in a few. just wanted to share my experience.

DA was 2279 so my adjusted best time would be 13.459 @ 104.939.
