Fastened Seat belt improves track time!!!

There was a kid with a red G35 auto. It was his first time there. He only had 1000 miles on it.. He was running 14.9 all night.. Think he had like ummm 5 runs and hit 14.9 every time!!! I asked if he had his seat belt fastened and he said no.. So he did fastened his seat belt and guess what??????? He ran a 14.6.. So for all the people that think its physc or not true here is realy good showing on how the car kinda drags after a while and that a fastened seat belt wakes up and brings our cars back to life!!!

Re: Fastened Seat belt improves track time!!!

lol you must be joking bro. I was there too. He was told to hold the brake at 1200rpm and then let go of brake and punch the gas at the same time ... ahh yea and he had ecu reset as well. Good try though. But you always wear your seat belt and helmet(some people more often than others).

Sure, torque braking and resetting the ECU help, but I think you're overlooking the massive power drain caused by that red warning light in the dash that lights up when your seatbelt is unfastened. Gotta be worth at least 15 hp.

Re: Fastened Seat belt improves track time!!!

Umm, i was that "kid". Im not that small, and i am in college. No offense to anyone here, but before the G, i had a lexus GS400 and the people over at Clublexus.com were much nicer. You guys all argue and complain all the time. Plus, I dont want to be called a kid, I am the one paying for the car. If anyone has any problems with the things that I am saying, please go and tell someone who cares.

Re: Fastened Seat belt improves track time!!!

Where the F*ck did this thread come from??? I hope it wasnt directed towards a thread i started last week.. As I pretty much said the same thing but about the ECU not Seat belt light.. If it is well will get to that when we do..

** actually i just read it again and it is copied and pasted from what i said last week.. WTF is your problem.. Cant think of anything better to do.. Wow what a fu*king loser.. **

Once there was this kid on the forum and I made fun of his posts and then I saw him and guess what??????? He kicked my ***....

As far as the "kid" b1ackmarket was a pretty kool guy.. He was about 19 feet tall.. HeHe J/K. But he doesnt deserve this crap about him or his car.. Give him a break and show him the respect that a G owner deserves..... I think he will do MUCH better the next time he goes.. As a needs to prepare a lil better and learn how to launch.. But once he gets it he will be running with the best of us.. Sooooo stick that seatbelt story up ur a$$

Thanks infidsg35. It gets annoying to hear soo much bs. I wish this forum was half as civilized as Clublexus.com. Btw, I am 6'2'' and 180lbs, lol.

Re: Fastened Seat belt improves track time!!!

Uh, did I accidentally click a FreshAlloy forum or something? Where did all the hypersensitivity come from? I took the first post as tongue-in-cheek. Nobody here cares about showing each other up.
