There is a guy in Florida JNAUT :icon18: who has a shop, that would be happy, & very able/experienced to help you do that.

The only people that don't post their time are people who.......you can finish this sentence:)

As far as killing the car. Going through 4 gears, only 12/13 seconds, with an engine cut off, you couldn't kill it no matter how hard you try. Without TT/S/C or Nitro, it's almost impossible to damage the engine. 60 months or 60k miles warrenty. How many keep our cars longer?

"killing a car to have fun" What does that mean???? Laughing to get face wrinkles:) Golfing to pull a muscle:) skiing to break a leg:) sex to get tired:) Get real....
Don't tell anyone, but one road race puts more wear on the drivetrain, suspension, tires & brakes than drag racing ALL year.
any kind of racing is going to be hard on the drivetrain... some i'm sure less than others... but either way it's going to wear it out faster.

If one has ART or LTH's, a good CBE, CAI and tune I don't know why we don't see more 12.5's or 12.7 times without using rear gears.

The only thing I can think of is that even with my ART pipes and the F.I. exhaust I can pretty easily spin in 2nd without getting on it real hard.. so I can imagine on a slick track with high temps it wouldn't work... but as said, not everyone posts their times either.
If your running a good rear tire, you won't spin second gear. Esp from a second gear roll. This brings up a good subject as to most people on here run garbage tires witch will only net you chitty time at the track. It really irritates me to see such a " drivers car" with junk tires. RE-11's ftw.

Imagine what I could have done with some good tires......

Than why are you here?

Wait, aren't you the guy that recently started a thread ASKING how to change the rubber part of the windshield wipers?

Can you pump your own gas?:roflpuke2::icon17::p

andre12031948 12-11-2011 08:01 PM
I got to fix my car & get the hell out of here! L.I. home? Florida vacation. Even Acid trip is better than this. Over & out of here!

KaienZ34 12-11-2011 08:27 PM

I live my life more than a quarter mile at a time. I prefer to turn and hit the brakes at speed whenever I could.

I asked that question? I live in NJ PT, I don't need to pump my own gas. What I do know is that I didn't buy an 08 350 when the 370 was available to me. If you are going to troll, at least come ready with a real car that no one is going to make fun of. (at least my rental Prius made it into the top 5 at rallyx out of 25)

Oh I agree that people on here don't spend money on the best tires that would net them better times. I can spin through second, but i'm still on totally stock tires with PLENTY of tread and they're a 140 rated tire, so i'd figure they'd be pretty sticky down the track.

I take my car to the track as much as I can, ran 13.3 stock and a 12.9 with just exhaust and test pipes with drop in filters, spinning through 2nd and 40 deg weather out :)

Stock tires?

I'll be honest... I don't really care that much what MY car can/could run. I like to see the guys who enjoy doing it get good times though. I feel the the car itself has a lot of potential... but in NA form there is just only so much you can do that won't completely break the bank.

If I knew my car would would a 12.5-12.7... I think that's pretty good considering it's an NA 6 up against a whole lot of turbo cars who just have to turn the boost up... although that is fun :tup:

One_Quick_Z 12-12-2011 03:39 AM
yes stock tires 13.3 run was with only 3.5k on the od and stock everything,


12.9 run was HKS exhaust Berk TEst Pipes and K&N drop in filters, on a very cool day 40 deg



With all my bolt ons now and if I get a new set of tires in the spring I am thinking 12.6 is very reachable
