Great day today 12.419@109.52 1.642 60' foot
 
A new record....

Started with 12.5's as a warm up. After doing a 12.497, I asked the starter for some help. He said I should heat up my tires more. I smoked them till a bunch of white smoke filled the air. I brought the RPM to over 5k & let it rip. When I got to the time slip booth, the girl was smilling & handed me the slip. I went & thanked all 3 starters for their help.

Very few. Stock intake & exhaust but have test pipes, 4:08 gears, allum. fly wheel, ACT street clutch. Slicks & skinny front tires & an old up-rev tune. Oh yes, driving skill:)

Very few but those 4.08 gear and slicks are the best upgrade possible for an NA 370z lol. Those 4.08 gears are going to give you more improvement in your 1/4 mile time then every bolt on with a tune. But anyways, congrats and nice time!

I have a 350z. Those two bolt on are best. Test pipes + tune would be almost as good.

My question is if slicks help your 1/4 time very much, & they cost only apx. $400 dollars for both, why aren't more people using slicks? I don't know anyone here using them. I think I know why, but like to hear from others.

1.64' 60' time is really good. Props for that!

Good for YOU!

Coupe auto, K&N drop-in's, everything else stock
60': 2.03 s
1/8: 8.56 s
1/4: 13.19 s


"I" don't use slicks because I drive to and from Test & Tune. But hey, you can find Hankook slicks 245/40/18 for $280 brand new & that will put a stock Z at 12.6ish.. I should time 12.93-13.08 s fairly easy, with all-season street radials, next test. All I need is a 1.99 60' which should be cake.

His 1.64 s 60' is monstrous, that's faster than a stock GTR.

Just curious and a little off topic, what's your gas mileage at with the 4.08 gears?

Gentlemen, check the dates before bumping a thread. The last post was almost 2 years ago.

Why? It just means someone used the search feature and found a thread they had a question on. If someone is trying to break 12.5 then this is still relevant. If OP isn't here anymore the thread will fall back down in a week if no one is interested.

Chuck33079 09-23-2014 07:42 PM

The OP was banned for being completely insane.

Except that 3rdDanZ bumped this thread for no real an apparent reason. Im all for using the search. Just not so much for threads that are years old and irrelevant.

And in all honesty, I read the title, got excited, read the post, realized who the OP was and got mad for wasting my time. I wss hoping to learn something. Lol

I would like to know what size rims he used and what slicks he used.
nobody makes a 16 inch rim to fit the rear in a sports package.
he had great 60 ft times !
