1/4 mile in the G35

[Beancooker]

So I went up to Bremerton Raceway today, and ran the G. There was a G37 coupe there as well, and he was consistantly .5 second faster.

I red lighted three times.

I tried running with the VDC on, just to see if it helped, and that was a joke.

I usually run my tires at 42psi, and after 6 runs, I dropped them down to 35psi. It made about .1 of a second difference consistantly.

It was 59º out, 30% humidity, and mostly cloudy. The left lane had a lot more traction than the right. The best part about my fastest run, was that I beat a 1997 30th anniversary edition Z28 Camaro. Made me feel great when the owner came over to ask me about my car.

My best time was a 14.454 @ 97.44 MPH.

I am number 2464, (left lane) the Camaro was 2615 (right lane).

Used to work up on Kitsap County Airport back in the late 70's!

Nice to have a local strip you can still run at.

Any performance mods on your vehicle?

[Beancooker]

Inatke, exhaust and plenum spacer. Other than that, she's stock... for now.

[rmezz13]

Dude your car is a lot faster than that Z is, he has better numbers all the way up to the end. Top end got 'em. NICE. congrats.

[G_whizz]

Nice Beaner! You'll get better with more practice. I've never had the chance to track my car yet

Isn't it more beneficial to have your tires below 35psi for better grip when at the track?

The VDC is a complete waste to have on when tracking the car..

[joe603]

I need to see what my 05 will do...it feels faster than my last car (97 firebird formula) and that ran 13.7 with mods.

[rn79870]

Yeah for the track dude. You'll get better. I've always heard that radial tires have max bite when properly inflated (32-35). Maybe 45 in the front, but not the rear.

Nice run Noah. I couldn't do better than 14.8 in Greg's G, but I was shifting into fourth at the top end. He turned a 14.6.

[Kenrik]

I would put mine at about 13.8 - 14... IDK I need to get it to the track to find out.. I was slightly faster then a stock G37.

how many feet above sea level are you? I'm in florida so I'm looking at sea level + like 5 feet... All of the numbers you Arizona people put up always seem so high!! I mean here in Florida I have seen stock 240SXs run in the 15s..

Greg has heavy 20 inch wheels though right?

There was a stock G37 (bone stock) 6MT, that ran a 13.72. It was his first time ever drag racing.

how many feet above sea level are you?

At that track, I'd guess between 250-500 + sea level.

You'll get better with more practice.

You'll get better.

WTF? Get better... I have been to the track many times. I'm no John Force, but that was the second crappiest R/T of the day. You tend to get crappy R/T's when you redlight three times in a row, from anticipating the third amber light.

Greg has heavy 20 inch wheels though right?

Yeah, they're boat anchors.

[RED_DET]

slow

[Beancooker]

slow

Yep, but I still had fun.

[RED_DET]

lol

[SVTCOBRA]

Yep, but I still had fun.

Yep, THAT'S what counts!!! The fun factor!!

Taking it to the track! NICE!!

[TeflonG35]

I don't feel as bad that i got 14.4 at the track. But my car was very hot. Had been pushing it hard all day before i even went to the track. Races diden't start to 6pm. I'm sure if the motor was cold it was a cool morning i could get much closer to 13. maybe even dip into the 13s. I usually chirp into second in the morning.

Kenrik, brotha, I love you man, but stop.

Please.

Just stop. Seriously.

No more speculation of what your car runs until it's been on a track.

BTW, my track is 1200 feet above sea level. Therefore, the atmospheric pressure difference is negligible (29.92 vs 28.86 in/Hg).

Denser, cooler air in Ft. Lauderdale for sure.

[soakgame]

any 07-08 sedans run their car yet? fastest i've seen just internet searching are high 13's.. low 14's

But you have dry air, which plays a small role as well. I know that the day I ran my car, the track announcer stated that the humidity was at 30%. It was misting on my way to the track.

I also know Florida is miserably humid.

Also, check your altitude Greg. Not sure who is correct.

My best track time was a 14.0 at 100 mph in 2000 foot density altitude. Corrected for DA its a 13.6 at 104 mph.

[Jacko3]

Beano:

Well done!

[awdjdmtalon]

NIce job finishing off that Z. Looks like your car loves the top end. 14.4 is respectable.

I'm going to have to get used to those times. I sold my 11.2 sec. Talon for my G. I wanted Luxury and Fun. I guess your taste change when you get olser.

[gwoods]

Also, check your altitude Greg. Not sure who is correct.

We are both correct, Greg said the altitude is 1200 feet, the density altitude is normally in the 2000's.

im alittle late but congrats anyway
