Today I searched: "trap speed" and "1/4 time" - 0 results. Found threads about 12+ hp gain and $$ to spin a Dyno - a metallic cylinder in the ground. How about results?

Any of you actually take your car to the track? Man up and put some tire to the road.

Stock 2011 G37S 6MT

me and my heavy 2011 M37s


timeslip is the left one of course

 

Real tracks with turns (not just left turns)?

*flame suit on

 

14.35 is not a good run... did you do anymore passes?

 

I took my 05 to the track and ran a 14.7@98. But TBH I am afraid of taking the 6MT. I can't launch this car worth a **** and my tires don't stick at all.

I did autoX my 08 though.

Theres more vids, excuse my poor video tapers lol

 

i'm quite positive i can do high 12's. or maybe 13 flat...lol we'll see this spring! awesome thread!!!

 

My best time was a 13.7X with my moded G37S 6MT. (mods in signature)

I'm sure I could have done better runs but my 2nd gear started grinding so I called it a day...

dont try to go on a track with stretched tires .... you can't really hook... and also w/ heavy 2 12" subs in the trunk.... i was prepared for a car show and wound up doing the track event as well...

at least i got my 60' foot down to 2.1..... but a crappy 14.001 all day long and couldnt get out of 99.97mph



that was out of my '07 g35 6mt sedan w/ 75k miles on it

 

The 2.396 60' time killed you. With a good launch you can probably get around 2.0 and get you 1/4 mile into the high 13's.

 

i took my '04 G35 6MT sedan to the 1/4mile track once on a hot summer night. 14.3 @ 98, with a 2.1 60'. i'll see if i can find the slip, that was a few years ago. still waiting for an opportunity to run the G37. i'll definitely take it to the road circuit near my place!

i found the best launch was at ~2500rpm to minimize axle tramp and wheel hop, with the right amount of wheelspin. anything under 2000rpm just bogged down.

 

Tires play a HUGE influence on your time. da mayor is right on w/ his comments

 

I prefer having to actually go up and down in gears and turn my wheel I don't know if that's manning up or not

 

Some like going fast in straight lines, others like going fast around arcs... I think the latter provides more thrills.. especially when there's no guard rails and long drop offs

 

I like both.
