Busting into a 13...
I dont care if I hit 13.9999999999999 this summer, I want to be in the 13s and im so close. My best run last year was at import showdown with a 14.2@ 98mph. My 60ft was 2.37 IIRC. I have a FWD setup and I was spraying a 65 shot. I ran with a pretty much full interior and 18s with Kumho Ecsta 711s. Im hopefully going to be running a progressive 100 shot by the next event and smaller rims (maybe with drag radials). Do you all think this would be enough for me to hit a 13+ second run?
put some drag radials on and a half tank of gas and ur there.
i went from 13.8 to 13.5 bogging out of the hoel bc i never ran on drag radials. BG's own me. ur 60ft is kinda high, are u manual shifting?
Nope, its a shitty auto so no shifting for me. I managed to hit a 2.17 60ft at one point, but my time was horrible since I was having fuel issues.
if u pull it dwn to low or one and shift through the gears like that itll go faster. i drove my friends rx7 for the 1st time ever a dallas and he was just leaving it in drive and he went like a 12 something. i drove it shifting through the gears myself and powerbraking it off the line and i ripped a 10.7 or 10.5.

Kumho 711 are the worst tires ever, the 712 are slightly more expensive but grip alot better. I'd say 13s with drag radials!
Yeah I agree man, just got them for a bad ass deal when I needed tires bad.
I didnt' know your car was automatic. Is there a manual offered? I'd get that.
Is the z31 auto too?
Nope, when I bought the car 4 years ago, a manual wasnt an option for me since it was my daily. The car is practically paid off, so until I get my next toy, this will have to work. I went from running high 16s to knocking on 13s door, so not too bad. Im not out to impress, just break limits on what people tell me I can do in my car.
Is the Z31 an auto? Nope its a manual. Would be kinda hard to get an auto Z31 sideways. :jerkit:
Almost as hard as a manual one I guess. lol
HAHAHHAHAHAHAH YEAH I GUESS
We should hook up.. TT vs your Cougar... let me know. I can't run for shit at the track.. I suck ( awd ownzsssss me )
for christ sake let me teach you how to launch that damn car, LOL.
Val for President.
Sounds like with the new tires/wheels and larger shot you shouldn't have any problems getting into the 13's
haha launching is not hard at all, comon now you've had the car long enough to get the hang of it.
I want to race ya. We run pretty much the same times. I'll see you at the Showdown.
I should use these^^ excuses more often...."My car is way faster than yours! I just dont know how to drive it"
What do you drive? I dont mind running anyone. Ill be at IS.

Im not using no excuses or never said my car is faster , Even though I cant launch it properly.. Or use to.. already got it figured out.
Biggest problem Is, I was used to driving a piece of shit LS Powered EK . cant compare shit to vaseline
A smaller 17 inch rim with a low 2-2.1 sixty foot should yield a high 13, while spraying of course. If your goal is to just hit a 13.999, I don't think a larger shot is required but it would help.
