It's a G thing

This is mainly for the guys who track their G37's at the drag strip.

I was wondering if there are any list's of some of you guys who have taken your cars and tried to run them for time down the 1/4 mile. Stock is my main question, but if any of the modded guys would like chime in also, by all means I personally would love to hear.

I know Car & Driver and Road and Track have both run 13.7's. And I've seen 13.7 and 13.8 posted in other magazines. But I want to know what the actual drivers of our cars are getting. What are the best getting? 6 Speeds, and automatics as well. Personally I think if some guy from car and driver, and road and track or wherever can run a 13.7, someone who actually owns the vehicle and drives the vehicle more often, and basically knows the car like the back of their hand, might just have a slight edge in launching and banging out 3 gears, I feel. Maybe not. I could be wrong. But I would love to know either way.

I recently just purchased a 6 speed '09 coupe with the sports and premium package, and will be testing this theory out at the track myself once my car breaks in a little more.

a member ( i think Seer...) did a 13.3 and i think he had diff tires on but the rest stock... cant remember if hes 6mt or auto

Seer pulled a 12.9 I believe with Drag Radials

I ran mine and got a 13.8 as my best.
I am by no means the worlds best driver either, though my 60' was a flat 2 which was the key. I can try to find the slip if someone needs something official..

I know there is a video on youtube somewhere as well...

I think I will be running mine this weekend and I will post times. All stock, auto, and stock tires.

Good stuff. 12.9 with tires is amazing! This is exactly what I was looking for.

And nice 60ft Jess. That launch would lead me to believe you aren't so bad either Maybe your car will wake up a bit with more then 120 miles on her. I know my old G (DE) certainly did.

I only have about 500 miles on my car now, so I'll be waiting a little longer before I really open her up. I can't wait though.

And good luck this weekend Boxer!

^not to jack the thread.what does your z06 pull in the quarter?with 1100 plus the wheels, I would love to see that run the track.

Seer

Never ran it with 1100hp, only ran it with 850, and it did mid 9's

what rpm did you launch?

Seer

??? I think it turned out an actual slow time for what it is. Theres 4100lb GT500 Mustangs hitting high 9s at 800rwhp. Z06 weighs 3200lbs.

For the other question, I launched around 6000 rpm.
