Raced the SE-R this weekend
Raced the SE-R this weekend
We took my dads 96 200sx SE-R out to the dragstrip this weekend. Hit a best of [email protected]. The car wouldn't hook up, the best 60' of the day was a 2.3, and the worst being a 2.5. The best part was against a 02' WRX with intake and exhaust. He ran a best of 15.0@90mph, he wanted to run against the SE-R so I raced him. The kid launched it at 4K and said he slipped the clutch, which I thought was pretty stupid, being the car is AWD, when we launched I pulled on him, due to a better R/T, missed 2nd, and still managed to stay a car ahead of him...I ran a 15.313, to his 15.314, I thought that was a bad a** race, thought I'd share, I'm bored/tired, need sleepy.

Se-R
yah what does he have ? sounds like it might be basic intake exaust , then again 14.8 is reasonnable for a stock sr20 sentra/200sx..good to hear there is another FWD SR20 around here ...
14.8 is good for a reasonably stock SE-R, but this on is far from it. We couldn't get it to hook up at all. The list of mods are, PRI cold air intake, AEBS 4-1 header, 2.5' exhaust, JWT S3 cams, Unorthodox pullies, JWT ECU, Eibach prokits, KYB AGX shocks, and Wilwood big brakes. I expected a low 14 out of it, the MPH is there, but the traction isn't.

traction
seems to be always the case when you start adding stuff to front drive sr20s , the nissan concept "disco potato" with that Det never hooks up right and it has 17 inch wheels w agressiv tires and the limited slip diff in there , its gettin ready to be real bad with me , turbo will be in 1 weeks before the alaskan winter starts , 200whp and ice ...mmmmm. fun

First off the WRX driver just sucked balls at driving if he is running a 15.3. I ran a 14.1 in a bone stock WRX. Either way sounds like the 200SX is running strong. Also its very easy to slip clutch in an AWD car... its due to un-proper break-in in this case. Best launches in the WRX are found around 4.0-4.5k ... stock trim with a decent driver they will run 14.3-14.6 all day. Anyone that knows how to launch the AWD properly can put it in the 13s (13.9).
I'm not disputing the fact the guy was a dumb**** driver, cause he was. I'm just saying we were even all the way down, even with a missed shift. I really don't thikn he was winding it all the way up, but I don't really know for sure.Nismo_Freak wrote:First off the WRX driver just sucked balls at driving if he is running a 15.3.
