Angry Angry



I went to the track this weekend and I was upset at myself because my best time was 15.00 at 94.07 miles. I have a stock G sedan with coupe rims and I was reading online stock G35 sould be running high 14's. Is this normal or am I just gettting upset for no reason?

is your last name Schumacher? Seriously, there are so many unanswered questions here we couldn't possibly try to answer. i.e.
tire wear?
track condition?
are you any good?
bad lines?
who's lying to you online?
who's not?
etc etc etc

Try getting a grounding kit that should put you in the high 14s.

Where you holding the brake and gas at the same time at the light?

Was VDC off? How many miles on your car.

Also I see the elevation of Glendale is 1k feet. What track where you at? Might want to calculate the DA.

alright, the DA was "Density Altitude: 1954 feet
Relative Density: 94.41 %"

Your time at 0 feet would be

Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
14.664 @ 96.277 MPH

Remember this is just calculations so it might not be dead on.

I used Sunday the 12th when it said it was 62 out. You might want to redo the calculations with the exact time you were out there.


Everything seems 100% normal. Stock is 14.7 you did it a bit quicker.

O wow thanks for the help. So I guess I shouldn't be angry because she ran pretty good then. I just need some more upgrades so I can get her in the low 14's. Thanks again

Posting up your full time slip will also be very helpful and allow others to offer more accurate input.
