I ran the 1/4 with several guys from the org and had quite a night!! worst time was a 14.7 (twice) and bested 14.6 (three times). I have all the timeslips, but wont be able to get them posted tonight. Probly tomorrow morning. So basically I was very, very pleased. One run I managed to trap 95.7 MPH too... great night tho - track was sticky. The other .org members also did pretty well... dont remember exact times though

 

nice run

 

nice!

-vq

 

Very nice run, I want a 95 trap also in the max and I want a 98.5+ out of the 350, my baby is one of the stronger ones stock. I might wait till the temps go down to run them again.

 

wow. when i go to the track id like a time similar to that to prove to my ignorant friends. what mods do you have? and what was your setup when going to the track? did you change tire pressure, etc?

 

mods are in my sig
Tire pressure was 32 front, 42 rear for the best run
Temp 75 Degrees
Humidity 70%
Everything removed from trunk
1/2 tank of gas
1 VERY sticky track
Also helps to take out passenger seat (50 lbs) all my extra gas canceled this out though

 

sweet! nice run!

 

nice run bro what did u run stock?? guy over in the 6 gen board ran his 04 se auto with hot and humid weather to a 15.2 he said the track conditions where horrible though so i dont know.. i guess the 04 and 03 are capable of high 14s stock

 

nice

 

good job

 

I was at the track last night and ran 13.1 @ 121 mph..







Then I woke up, and posted this...

 

With that trap speed you must have spun half the track. Edit your dream time to a 11.8 @ 121mph Much more believable.

 

Awesome...14 second time in total luxury.

Did you shift manually?

 

i was just about to ask that question too.

 

Musta been dreaming about a Supra

 

Its hard to say with the 04 with the 04 SE 5spd auto running times like that I can only imagine what the 4spd auto SL would run (I know the track conditions werent the best). We are doing times like this in a 4spd auto 02/03's which is damn good!

 

Hey dude, how is it going? It was fun meeting you.
I ran best on my third run. As you remember my first run was horrible(it was my frist time ever to drag track) I didn't even get the timeslip as I completly screwed up. Second time it was better but with nasty wheel hope I think I launched too high around 3000 rpms, everything inside my car opened up center console, wipers, blinkers, it was pretty crazy.
Third run was my best, I managed 14.71 at 96.42mph with 2.443 60ft. I am still was kinda slow off the line, but I managed to beat my friend's 350Z he ran 15.0 at 95.7mph on that last run.
It was definetly fun, I want to go again. But the lines were nasty yesterday. Only got 3 runs out of which only one was acceptable. Next time I think I will do better need to learn how to launch better and cut that 60ft time. Also in all of my runs, my car was the same setup as I run on the street, tire pressure was not change, I think I am running like 32 all around, nothing removed, even had gym bag and other crap in the trunk. I wanted to see how it does exactly as I drive it on the street.

BTW my friend in his 350Z 6-speed ran 14.5 at 98mph for his best run. It was our both first time racing, next I hope we will do better.

 

I was about to get jealous (reg. GLE running 14.6) but then I saw your list of mods. What was your stock time?? (I'm just curious as to how well those mods work.)

Peace.

 

When I had my car stock during the winter I got a 14.73

 

Hey did removing air filter did anything? Did you run better time without filter?

 

Why would you get ****ed if a reg. GLE was running in that range its the same car if its auto, my SE auto is one of the stronger ones I can run 14.69 stock timeslip for my runs in the 350 and Max are around here. I broke mine in hard and he just fly's,I do must say that the 3.5 are inconsistent in acceleration amongst different cars..

 

uhhh...it was a joke; one based on the ongoing "notion" that the GXE is faster than the SE auto thats faster than the GLE. (Thus the insertion of the "" smilie.)

 

Its all good bro!

 

04 Max's are going to struggle to consistently run in the 14's........auto's and stock at least.

 

Sorry for the delay replying, i've been away. I never ran the car stock, but with crappier conditions and less stuff removed (full trunk, interior, everything) i ran a 14.8 @ 94.7 MPH I think it was. Removing the air filter did not make a difference in my time that run, but it didnt hurt my time either. For the GLE, I was quite satisfied considering i'm heavier than the SE models and all...
And yes, I manually shifted for all my best times

 

What makes you think the GLE is any heavier than an SE??

The SE is available with every option that comes on the GLE so, unless someone is driving a "base" SE (no leather, no bose, no sunroof) the weights of the two cars should be about identical.

And I'm not sure here, but the SE's wheels may weigh more than the GLE's. Both are 17 inchers of the same width (I believe) but the GLE is a 6 spoke and the SE is a 7 spoke, right??

So, they may in fact be a bit heavier.

 

I think that's backwards...at least my SE has 6-spoke 17s. The GLEs are shinier, though

 

Love my base SE

 

poopra! they always wanna take it on the highway...............

 

You know what, you are right, sorry?

One other thing, the SE comes with a standard spoiler. Not sure how much that weighs, but it's probably a good 20+ pounds.

Anyway, I don't think there's any weight difference between the two cars, unless you compare a "base" SE to a loaded GLE, then there might be 100 pounds difference. But, I think most people that buy SE's aren't "base" and therefore the two cars probably weigh within 20-30 pounds of each other. Not enough to affect performance.
