I understand completely, I asked myself the same thing that whole night. To put it simply, I cant launch at all when it comes to the track. I ran a 13.9 n/a with better 60 ft times on street tires then I did with slicks at Commerce. I think there were two reasons for this..Originally Posted by SpeedM0nkey
1. I've never driven anything with this much power so I was just dropping the clutch and spinning through first and second (and 3rd sometimes) I'd try to feather the clutch but it wasnt working.
2. I wasnt lighting up the slicks the way I should have. I always thought big burnouts was more for show than anything but I realized how important it is that night.. next time I go I'm going to try and do my burnouts in 2nd gear.
The frustrating thing is I'm seeing a good number of TT'd Z's run 11's with the same amount of power I have and they're trapping much higher than me.. my best was 12.9 @ 111mph that night.
Its just something that is going to take a lot more practice on my part cause I'm still a novice at the track.
You have a red 350Z right? Did you ever come to one of the G35Frenzy meets? I think I met you before when you first bought it.
you dont even know the half, I didnt realize till today that the month is almost over, it just hit me that I havent had my car in two months. lol I think for everyones safety if I come out this weekend I will just be a spectator until I get some rest.So all this time you didnt see "Z"06 in my sig......mannnnn Tony you need to take some vacation time.
