You need to submit your time slip to a MOD so they can post it in the correct area and make it official. Impressive time!

Bad azz, when it cools down out here in so cal Im going to famoso, hoping for the same results.

Awesome. I haven't ran mine yet as its still too hot, but I'd love to have that kind of time when I do. I've had this nagging feeling mine is actually slower and would like to finally put my suspicions to bed.
By the way, you had your first oil change yet? If yet, did you switch to anything in particular?

Jason · 09-09-2009, 10:16 PM

quick question: did you have vdc on or off??

chotyme · 09-11-2009, 09:52 AM

thanks again guys..i actually did my first oil change at about 3000 miles at the dealership. they used nissan ester oil and jason i had my vdc off.

black09Z · 09-11-2009, 11:58 AM

yeah i think the weight might be a factor. not just all the extras the sport comes with inside though. think about the rims too. ill bet the 19"s weigh more than the 18"s do. and yeah, the 19"s have better grip in the corners but whens the last time you saw a drag car with 19" wheels and low pro's?

badd a$$ time by the way. take that motortrend 370Z vs mustang comparison!

I agree with you man. Just think about the firction a 19 does compared to an 18?

Representin the 370z's.
Nice *** time.

If I remember correctly grip on a drag strip is a function of car weight, tire pressure, tire height and tread compound. The wider the tire helps for the turns but not for the strip. The wider tire increases the contact patch from side to side but decreases it front to back. I know it sounds crazy but you can google contact patch to learn more.
