This puzzled me too until I did more reading. The weights vary depending on factory options and if you read through the uprev tune thread, you'll find that the factory ECM tune can vary greatly as well. So, I can easliy believe that the lucky factory combination of factory parts and a skilled driver CAN get his car into the 12s. Mine is a sport/touring 7AT and at Bradenton Fl, I was knocking down 13.3@104 (all stock) and I am kinda portly at 235 lbs. Since then, FI CBE, FI test pipes installed (very noticible improvement in power delivery) G3s on order and an appointment for uprev when stillens are installed. If I don't hit 12s, I'll either get the 4.08s or a membership to Jenny Craig......

I definitely feels good to hit 12's in this car. I wanted to run a 12.9xx time stock but the winter ended and I really wanted to throw some mods on the car. Too bad I didn't powershift on my 13.133@105 and 13.127@105 runs, I probably could have pulled it off.

Got my first track runs in last night at Palm Beach International Raceway.
Midnight Madness was crazy last night, had at least an hour wait between runs, haha. This was my best run of the night. My number is on the left. For never having driven a manual car on the drag strip, let alone really ever launching this car, I'm ok with the time. I've got a lot of learning to do to get my times way down to where they're supposed to be. Launches are definitely much harder than I thought. |

James that's about what I ran the first night I brought my Z to the track. I will add your time later when I am on my computer. Congrats.

i will be at the track 2nd last week of april. With a fully built GTM 7AT and a new 3400 stall Pro Torque convereter. I asked them to build me a nasty bad one with all the tricks that they have. The hardist past will be getting the 7 AT full of fluid.
Hoping for 12.19's Will go the track a few times and then put the stage 2 SC on the car. Z

I will be hitting the track this spring after some new rubber is installed (AD08's) Should be in the 12's easily with current mods seeing how I hit a 12.9 with only test pipes and exhaust and stock everything else.......

Thinking about going again soon in the coming weeks, to put down a better time. When I went for the first time, I had a full tank of gas, and all my tires were left at road pressure of 35~psi. My friend who ran his 300ZX TT dropped nearly 4/10's of a second by letting some pressure out. Little things I wanna experiment with.

I know it's not a 370Z. Regardless, the powertrain is identical.
Just got in from a rented track day at Atco. My previous best: 11.72 @ 122. I ran: 11.69", 11.70", 11.80" @ 122's, and two aborted passes in the mix. These were on my 500whp street boost setting. (The date is wrong, but there's no funny business going on.) ^^^ Then I made one pass on the 590whp boost setting, which netted me the above. It wasn't that great either. Not my best 60', and it was breaking up. (Original build one-year-old plugs with a wide gap.) Pretty darn good. Solid three tenths better than previous. I have an in-car video and John (Visconti-Flash), grabbed the outside vid with his iPad. I'll compile them when I get his file and the time. JimmyK the owner of The Shop brought his street GTR to git-r-done. He ran 9.31@152 w/1.47" 60'. We had a good outing. Coop
