Ran 12's My First Time Ever at a Drag Strip - Stock

b1adesofcha0s · 03-12-2011, 06:08 PM

Went to the drag strip today for the first time ever and I was completely blown away by my results. My first ever run was in the 12's with a bone stock 7AT. Here's my time slip for the run:

Everything just went perfect that time. Launch was good, shifting (with paddles) was good. It was at Cecil County Dragway in Rising Sun, MD and the temperature was around 45-50*. Here are my other results for the day:

1st: 12.986 s @ 107.46 mph
2nd: 13.470 s @ 107.71 mph
3rd: 13.216 s @ 106.36 mph
4th: 13.468 s @ 106.83 mph
I have an album posted with the full time slips for each run.

Launching at 1500 RPM seemed to work best, it gave me my 2 best runs of the day. I think I could have done better with a few more runs, but I had to leave.

Congrats, man!!!

b1adesofcha0s · 03-12-2011, 06:15 PM

Thanks man, I think it was worth skipping lunch at Hooters. It's officially in the sig now

beginners luck!!!

j/k nice job especially for a first timer

Jordo! · 03-12-2011, 06:32 PM

Holy sh!t!

Great run

I can't believe the stock auto is capable of 12's -- awesome!

That might be the best bone stock time.

Very, very impressive. Great job.

What shift points were you using?

b1adesofcha0s · 03-12-2011, 08:59 PM

I was aiming at something between 7000 and 7500 rpm. Not consistent by any means and I couldn't really tell you anything more exact than that. I was too in the moment, lol

Thanks guys. I hope with some more practice I can do a little better.

Wow!
That is great to hear!
I know Nissan's auto trans are better than their manuals.
Great time good to see that not only the stangs can run 12's stock!

Just imagine if you had a Supercharger or TT!

b1adesofcha0s · 03-12-2011, 09:14 PM

OMG I'm so not ready for FI yet, I think that's way too much power for me to handle, I'm still pretty inexperienced when it comes to rwd and sports cars. I've only had one for 2 months. The auto transmission is pretty amazing though. With better tires + messing with tire pressures + a little weight reduction, I could make some real improvements. The track conditions and weather would have to be just as good though.

SwEET!!!! Really whish i ran my car stock....Who has a stock z 6spd they will let be drive????

GZ3 · 03-12-2011, 10:22 PM

Nice man!

ajcool2 · 03-12-2011, 11:45 PM

You did in one run what I've been trying to do for years. Congrats again. Time for some mods so you can run 11's lol.

b1adesofcha0s · 03-12-2011, 11:51 PM

Looks like you need to get some paddle shifters man, lol just kidding. Trust me man, if I had money for mods, they would already be on my car

2ndChance · 03-13-2011, 12:54 AM

I have a question..

How do you launch the 7AT?

VDC off
Power brake at 1500rpm
Manual shifting mode, shift point near redline

like this?

b1adesofcha0s · 03-13-2011, 01:25 AM

That's exactly what I did. Found out it worked best at 1500 RPM. I don't know if it's actually called something else, but I feel like launch fits well.
