Auto vs Manual 1/8 Mile Video (HD)

ive been 5 times i think

i know all about correction, but if that is true, explain to my why my friend's MS3 ran 13.9-14.1@99-100 at raceway park in englishtown(178ft) and then a week later in roughly the same conditions with the same mods and roughly the same 60 ft times ran 13.6@103.5 at cecil county dragway(320ft)

there are some tracks that just give you better times, everyone knows cecil is a fast track and its most certainly not the only one

its hilarious how you guys with your automatic 14 second cars with 3 bolt ons and a 350z that has a bunch of **** done just to run a time that stock 370z could match are acting like you know so much about drag racing and don't even even realize that certain tracks (and dynos for that matter) just read higher (or lower)

my brother's crappy LS1 gto with a cam and LS6 heads should be able to beat EVERY NA G35, yet he doesn't give two ****s about what it runs and you guys with your autos are EXPERT drag racers because you are informing me (for the first time obviously) about density elevation correction...lol

I am WELL aware of Cecil..........it is a notoriously fast track. I haven't run there with the z, but I hope to hit 12.90's there in Dec when other tracks close in the area.

I don't have much done to my car................kinda.

[00gts6speed]

lol

well cecil is not the only fast track

i know my rsx trapped at 98.75 at etown and 99.5 at atco, although it was too cold for traction at etown, everything with summer tires was pulling 2.5-2.6 60 fts..also i messed with my tune a bit, but idk atco seems a bit faster or maybe just better prepped

Also, my car makes about 5-8whp LESS than a 370. The 370 also better gearing (3.7FD). The power band is also more oriented towards the peak (better for drag racing), which in conjunction with the higher redline and better gearing=faster than my car.............at the moment.

[03threefiftyz]

Englishtown is about on the same level as MIR........same with atco. They are all fast tracks. I have seen some crazy trap speeds coming from cecil for better than a decade. I hope to go 109 there, but I'll need -1000' DA's.

[00gts6speed]

well the 370 is just a sweet car all around

you should get some cams...we need more 12 second NA vq powered cars(that aren't spec v's)

idk it just seems much easier to squeeze power out of K20s. I had a a race header with greddy sp2 on my rsx and it was pretty damn quiet yet gained a good amount of power, seems like with these cars as soon as you take the cats out you get either crazy rasp or something that sounds like a sick race car, which is great but you can't dd it...idk

[03threefiftyz]

I will get there this fall or the car will be sitting of WV mountain cliff somehwere .

Ever think that some of us do it for the fun and we don't care about other cars? I had a fast 94 Z28 back in day. Everyone expects an F-Body, Vette, Stang, Evo, etc to be fast. It is very rare when a sporty sedan shows up at the strip. My G is significantly slower than my old Z28, but the G gets a hell of a lot more attention and respect even though it's only running low 14s. I throughly enjoy taking my slow G to the strip and hanging with or beating some muscle cars all the while having a car that can handle exceptionally, looks great, is quiet, it's not flamboyant, and can haul 4 adults in comfort. Even more amazing to me is that my G with a Z-tude posted the exact ET/MPH as my 94 Z28 did when it was stock. That's impressive in my book.

<-----had a mid 11's 1g dsm in 00-01. Followed by a 430whp 4 door gsr (one of the first honda's to make over 400whp on pump) that ran a best of 11.2@128 from 01-04. Lastly, I got this car in 05. I drag race because my life is filled with stresses and racing is my escape/ stress reliever.

I've probably made well over 500 passes in my life. Density altitude can make a staggering difference in ET and MPH. I run in the 103.5 range with DA's in the 2200'-2700' range (summer), 106 in 700'-1200' (fall), and wel...l I'll get back to with some late fall-winter DA's (-200' to -1000').

I am not gonna get caught up in this whole argument, I just wanted to say to the OP that you need a camera mount for your videos.
