Dude AZ you really do not know what you are talking about. A 2007 350Z managed a 13.8 in magazines and yet my buddy ran a 13.3 on a local track, with the best being a 13.1... that's much better than the 13.8 "professional" times. Get over it, Seer is better than you.

I simply used the magazine times as an example, I know they aren't accurate to the T. As for my experience, I do have some. I've dragged all my cars, not my g yet, and have beaten the magazine times, but only by 1/10th or so, not 6/10ths. I just find it odd for 2 reasons.

1) no where else can I find anywhere someone with a stock g37 getting close to those numbers.
2) the lack of time slips.

If someone posted they put down 350whp with bolt on's they would get flamed every 5 min. until a dyno was posted. I just need some slips, then maybe I'll move to PA and practice, practice,practice my 1/4 runs till I get some crazy times

There's no conflict or argument of being better, or worse ruskie, I just want to see his slips and data, then when I take my car out and run it I can compare times and see how I match up to the king of the quarter mile. I think it's funny that when it comes to 1/4 miles times people accept times immediately, but when it comes to dyno's people what graphs and data to back it up.

I've posted time slips every time, just takes me awhile because i work a lot , and a dyno sheet means nothing without 1/4 times

Seer - good job bro! I eat, sleep and breath drag racing and its about time people start getting these cars down the track. I believe your times 100% and sucks its hard for others to believe just because their great times, someone had to do it! lol hopefully i can get mines down the track and back you up!

In the world of race tires, this is how it goes for most aggressive grip:

Street Tire > Drag Radial > Half Slick > Full Slick

Ahh... so these come in 19s? I thought that they only came in 17s maybe 18s- that's why I was asking. Where did you get yours?
Did you put them on the stock rims?

I need to get me a set and head to the track before they close it for the winter.

Hey Seer what are the specs on the rims that you borrowed from your friend's Z? I am not sure what 18" rims will fit on the Sport Package models? Thanks!

What are you gonna practice? Slamming your foot down in anger on the gas pedal and say "12.9, 12.9, 12.9 I can dooo ittt!!! Don't you drive an Auto? I'm just messin' with ya.

...Anyways to the OP, with Drag Radials I believe it. Were you on 1/4 tank of gas? Did you have spare tire in? Did you heat up the tires really nice with a physical run or at a standstill? Nice times bro, would love to see a timeslip!

for me the ET is believable with that nasty 60' he got but I'm still stuck on the Trap. 108mph trap on a car that weight over 3600lbs is no stock... I dont think a drop of 60F in temp will yield you over 60whp+.. One member here went to Etown last Sunday with DA of -275FT and only trapped 102mph. I believe the OP's DA was about mid 400FT base on the info he gave. The car ran faster with a higher DA? A good driver can only give you some help improving the trap. Anyways this just my .02 and I was not there I'm just chiming in...lol

not sure if they come in a 19, I was running an 18" version on the rear, with some borrowed wheels.
