Any drag strip results?

What feel wobbly exactly? Is this during a launch with wheel spin or just punching it while rolling? It feels pretty rock solid to me under all conditions.

felt this when i do rolling punches from slow speeds....feel it squirmy not planted solid on the ground, but like i mentioned i guess im still used to my previous Z which had a little suspension mods.

Wow, am I really gonna be the first to come out and say I've tracked the hell outta my Z already? Well I've been smart about it, but last weekend and this weekend I spent 3 different days at the track in my baby!

Last sunday I was still getting use to her and taking it very easy and was running consistant 13.6's with a 13.7 here and there.

Friday night I had a good 7 runs ranging from 13.48 (only once) consistant 13.5's and a few 13.6's thrown in the mix.

Today I took her out to the track again and was putting up 13.4 all day long! I took another 8 runs, 7 of which were in the 13.4's and had one 13.5 flat!

So far Im very pleased with the results, and expected them to get even better next weekend after I take out my spare and jack and other useless crap and lighten her up a little! But those are my straight stock experiences so far! Plus she is still being broken in. I haven't bothered really trying to launch or anything yet. Just revving to about 1.5k RPMs and dumping it on green light. No traction problems whatsoever and putting up consistantly 1.9 -2.0 60ft times! Even had a faster 60ft time than the GTR I ran this past friday! (of course he ran an 11.8 and I ran a 13.48, but I still felt good getting him off the line!)

Best 1/4 mile splits so far:
0.6702 - Reaction
2.0897 - 60 FT
5.7219 - 330 FT
8.6927 - 1/8 ET
83.18 - 1/8 MPH
13.43 - 1/4 ET
103.85 - 1/4 MPH

That is the exact splits of my best time so far. I've had a few faster 60 FT times but my 1/4 was a tad higher in the 13.4s still.

I am running the base model 7 AT also. I'd really love to see what someones stock results are in a MT base model with a similar start to mine. Not revving higher than 1.5k to launch. It'd really be interesting to see!

I will post more times next weekend after I install my Stillen dual cold air intakes and take out my spare and what not! Enjoy!!!

Are you using full automatic, or the paddle shifters?

Darkaeon

Paddle shifting of course! I don't think you could better than a 13.8 with just straight up auto. It's a bit more laid back when in normal "D" mode than when paddle shifting. Paddle shifting is very smooth and very responsive, I definately have been happy with it thus far.

Also a quick update, went back to the track yesterday. Thursday night I installed the Stillen G3 Cold Air Intakes. The ECU is still adjusting to the new intakes, but here is my best time of the day yesterday with the new intakes!

2.0251 - 60 FT
5.6484 - 330 FT
8.5852 - 1/8 ET
84.30 - 1/8 MPH
13.26 - 1/4 ET
105.46 - 1/4 MPH

I definately feel the car can put up even better times than this with the new intakes! Just gotta give it till next weekend most likely when the ECU has fully adjusted. Im hoping to see times in the high 13.1's from just the intake. I shoulda had a better 1/4 mile time than that yesterday but I had gotten online after some real "drag" cars and the track was still only recording 1/8th times so thats all I got, but it was an 8.51 1/8 ET so Im guessing it would have been a low 13.2 time most likely. We will see come next weekend and I'll have times posted soon as I get em!

Just curious what you're shifting at, Redline (7500)? What rpm are you launching at (nevermind i just saw your launching at 1500)? Any traction problems (nevermind i just saw you said no traction problems)? Last question, do you have the sport package?

Thanks,

Darkaeon

I went with just the base package. Didn't like the 19 in rims on the sport or most of the other stuff just wasn't worth it to me!
As for shifting I shift at just over 7k RPMs. No point in waiting for redline when our power peaks at 7k! Just my opinion tho...
