well i went to orlando speedway tonight and ran down a quater mile track for the first time! my car is completely stock, but i wanted to see what i can do, and what i can improve on... well here are the stats, be nice all but any info would help...

04 g35 coupe 6mt

Best run
rt....575
60...2.336
330...6.336
1/8...9.546 @ 77.21
1000... 12.275
1/4.... 14.568 @ 99.77


My rt's went down each run but my 60's got worse all in all i had a great time, and practice is def in order but i want to hit low 14's stock! so till next time...

 

not *bad* on the r/t's and 60 ft. You can do better with some practice.
I would think shifting a little better would bring it down a tenth or two. I know it's bad for the car, but I can't help but ****** every gear like I'm stealing candy from a guy with a gun.

With how hot and humid it is in Alabama right now, I imagine Florida is just as blah. That's going to kill your overall e/t.

Keep at it. I'd wait until a cooler night, not so muggy, and try it again. Let some air out of the back tires (try running with 18-20 lbs and see what happens), take out the spare tire and jack and leave them at the house, and only run with about 1/4-1/8 tank of gas. (just imagine if you ran with 10 less gallons of gas. That's like taking 10 full milk jugs out of your trunk) Silly, I know, but it'll probably help.

God, I used to be at the damn drag strip every weekend, and I haven't been to one in almost two years. *shrug*

 

I still need to pop my cherry...


Can I say that>?

 

Wait, you mean to tell me with all of that ball busting power under the hood, you haven't hit the 1320 to blast some ricers in civics and make little high school kids cry?

Dude, seriously. You should hook yourself up. That first run in a ***** out car is always the best, because no one knows what to expect. Used to love to go out to the track in my Prelude, turn a 13.10, N/A, on the shakedown run, and go park it just to see peoples faces when I said "it's slow tonight, I don't like driving it when it's slow."

 

My rts gotta better each run, my bet was a .363 but that run had my worst 60 go figure lol

 

I'm sexually excited.

I've spent 10,000 in the last 2 months on this car, and haven't taking it over 80

I gotta get out there, I keep putting it off till the nxt mod.. ie SPG tranny mod..

 

yea you def need to take that beast out!

 

If you're looking for a personal best, don't worry about the RT too much. It's not like if its going to affect your ET & trap. I get good RT's because I just get them naturally (lot of experience). But I could care less if it were 1.0 or 0.01 (I did happen to get a 0.01 once )

If you're racing another guy or braket racing, then the RT should matter.
