1/4mi time proof

Post by **ldstang50** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 3:37 am

Since the validity of my driving was questioned in another post, here is a time slip from my Evo. Sorry no STOCK slips, best I could find were modded passes. Mods at the time I/E, EBC, tune, stock clutch. Track was MIR (Maryland International Raceway)

I will try to remember to take pics of the R6 slips and post those later

You were 3/10ths slower off the line and 3.5 seconds faster across the finish. Nicely done.

Forget what the haters say, ignore them until they fade away. I don't want to see you suckered into this, just ignore them. If I saw the thread sooner I would have gotten your back.

It's all good!

this was bracket racing, i wasn't quick enough to be in the fast 16 that night, i missed it by .1seconds ouchwe were running on a pro tree, not a typical step down tree. I had to be sure I had my rpms up or i would bog off the line something horrible.

thanks mike

richie, i don't remember what it was, but the general rule in bracket racing....if you're racing a slower car....you're probably gonna lose

My original comment was a compliment. The other driver practically jumped the tree and got spanked anyways.

Hows the AWD on the strip? do you have to slip the clutch like crazy?

I gotcha Tony. I was never really good with the car in trying to catch lights. I could cut good lights on the bike, but the car was harder to get properly staged and build rpms properly. I ran a footbrake class which didn't allow me to use my stock rev limiter for launch.I'd hold my rpms at or about 6000. I'd pretty much let the clutch up as fast as I could slipping it a little. The tires would intially bite, then as boost kicked in, all 4 would break loose. I was fighting the wheel trying to keep it straight and grabbing 2nd gear all before the 60ft.AWD + VCT + short gearing = crazy initial acceleration. 1st gear only gave me MAYBE 30mph

did I miss a memo? what is the significance of the et of an evo? and why were you bracket racing? looks like you broke out, which is of course a loss

evilin the post of What you dislike about the Z, I posted I had drag raced my car/bike and posted times almost exactly what the mags got. Long story short, pretty much someone called BS on that. Thread got locked, so I started this one.Read above post for why I was bracket racing. Yes I broke out, by .04sec

so what time did you manage wiht the nismo?

Post by **ldstang50** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 11:20 am

I've never drag raced the Nismo, nor do I have any plans to. Its boring if you ask me. Turning the wheel is where its at

silly me I assumed you were talking about a Z!???

I agree I too am an autocrosser but drag racing is nice benchmark to see where you are, I am personally querious as nissan seems to quit publishing et's and the 03 started at 13.9-14.1 so I was wondering where the series ended, and a stock car will generally be more consistant for your bracket racing

As the 350z progressed they got more HP, from 287 to 300 to 306. They also got less torque from 274 to 260 to 268. Also they tended to get heavier. For example a base model was around 3,1xx lbs in 03 and ended up around 3,5xx in o8 I beleive. It is pretty much a drivers race between the three motors due to torque variences and weight.

hes actually right ive seen time slips.. and about 4 guys do it in stock Hr zs hit the Quarter in 13.1 like 6 people have done it on the my350z forum..edmunds is dumb cause they counted the 370 in at 13.5 but 350z can hit 13.1s confusing ey?
