Thanks for the new calculations! Where are you in Ohio Zkindaguy? I'm west of Cleveland about 25 miles.

Neglecting skill of the driver of course

I love the berks, really has opened it up. Its hard to get traction though.. i need some slicks!

So I ran my stock 370z base sport a few weekends ago. Very similar numbers.

1050ft. actual altitude
89F
70% humidity
29.8 mercury

DA = 3,751ft

60ft. 2.189
330 6.065
1/8 9.194
mph 78.96
1000 11.845
1/4 14.079
mph 101.18

Corrects to:

Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
13.435 @ 106.099 MPH

Completely stock including spare and tools and 35psi. Half a tank of gas.

The scales read 3345 without me in it (+190lbs with clothes/helmet), but the scales at this track are known to fluctuate so not much use in the result.

There's your problem.

Not really. The DA of 3,751ft is my problem.

The car is picking up 22.2 mph in the last half and the corrected numbers are right where they should be, which is all I was concerned with. (benchmarking against my old 350z)

Yes, sub 2.0 60ft's are easily possible bone stock. No, it's not going to happen at this track on a test and tune night. They don't allow cars that avoid the water box to run in the groves(they force you to stage closer to the wall). They also rarely spray the track, so traction is always an issue for anyone on street tires.

MightyBobo

That's all you had to say, and it confirmed my statement. Test and tune nights will almost never hook well unless its a nice track. Nowhere in my statement did I say, "You suck, learn to drive". Im fully aware that a shitty track on a shitty night wont hook for ****.

The long story short is that, yes, indeed, the 60' is the problem. The altitude isn't the cause. But it sure may be the track prep (or lack thereof), the driver, or both.

I know you didn't say that, which is why in my response to you, nowhere did I say or even remotely imply that you did.

If I had the same lack of traction in a climate conducive to running good times, I would be perfectly satisfied with a 13.4@106 in stock form. Much the same that I am satisfied with the "slow" results I got. I wanted proof that my somewhat modded 350z was faster. While only slightly faster, that's what my butt dyno told me, and the real world results proved it for me.

In response to the short long story, I wasn't posting because I had a "problem"... with my ability, my car, or my understanding of how drag racing works. I don't recall saying that I have a problem or needed someone to point out the obvious for me.

I also think you may be underestimating the difference DA makes. If you think simply pulling a sub 2.0ft in the same conditions is going to net nicer times than running in sub 500ft DA conditions, you are terribly mistaken.

t-ray

Post up your timeslip. Show us how it's done.
