But yes, with a dedicated drag setup, proper alignment and slicks... ya for sure these cars can hook up great. Its just that its not what people in this community want. They want a full street car to hookup something closer to like what a vette or a viper can do on street tires. They can do it because of their different suspension profiles that do not camber 30 degrees when you try and launch!

If we can get the typical 60's down to 1.7-1.8 on normal 18" drag radials... it will be epic for the 370z scene because all of a sudden we will start seeing people get more excited about drag racing. As it stands, its really damn frustrating to even bother with how poor these cars hook up without full slicks. We need solutions that dont involve changing the rear brakes and putting on 15-16" wheels... and suddenly we will see a greater number of Z owners taking their cars to the track.
If you need testers I will volunteer!
The last time I went to the track I felt like I was just racing to see what kind of trap speed I could get. Granted, I know the car wasn't going to do great at the track and that's not what its set up for. It'd still be nice to get a decent launch in.

As for "generally totally reasonable". You are right you can get used to 5-600rwhp very easily. Since my Z is my daily and it has over 30k boosted miles, I now consider 500rwhp completely "normal" for driving around town to get groceries.
phunk and Z&I like this.
