Great run, I am just curious, what car did you destroy in the run. Good luck with your transmission.

So again, why are you traps so low?

Oh, and you must go to the track real often (sarcasm) if you think the et's always match up to the trap speeds...example, look at the Turbo Buicks and Pontiac TTA's. Some cars are all gears and slicks, and will pull a bad-*** time, yet their trap isn't all that great. Some are the complete opposite *cough BPU Turbo Supras cough* and will run a **** et, but the trap is insane. For all of us track guys, the trap is always a nice indicator of power, but for me, I want to get to the finish line as soon as possible, trap speed notwithstanding.
FWIW, the 01 Z06's were running 12.80's... The 405 hp 02+ are doing 12.50's. The trap is about right, as are the rest of your #'s.

Would like to compare 60' and 1/8 mph.
Bottomline it is only a matter of a short period of time things start breaking because of all the racing let alone the N20.

Thats more my point your car is obviously more powerful. But when it comes down to driver vs driver settled nerves usually prevail especially in quick light to light runs on street tires. On the street you must get left standing from a dead stop by half decent mustang drivers etc. Running a 12.9 on slicks and large shot of N20 Once with a 1 second rt time really doesn't impress me. Pretty much anyone can do that in an auto with a little practice, spend the cash and willing to kick the crap out of their car.

First of all I'm not trying to impress you, second I am willing as you say to kick the crap out of my car because I enjoy racing, and last but not least on the road I can launch the crap out of my car on street tires. I pull 2.1 60's all day at the track but once again doing that in an auto is nothing right...just floor it and go right? Like I said when im focused and running for money at the track I get the job done. If you want to base my car off of one run I could care less. I ran 3 bracket events this year and finished 1st, 4th, and 5th out of 60 or more cars and also allowing the losers the buy back in the 1st and 2nd round. I notice you jump in all my threads reguarding times and dynos and bash me...is there a problem you have with me that I don't know about?
Your right on focusing to make money racing. Wasting money and killing your car for nothing makes no sense. Sorta like beer league football: you do it because you love it, smashing people etc.. but in the end you quit because you get sick of not making any money and being so hard on you.
When you start hustlin' and make money from it then dude it makes sense. Otherwise save your money and get a sweet ride IMO.

All I know is that blu and I have seen far too much drama in the past few days which we haven't revealed and I am tired of people twisting stories around to try to use against my friends and I.
Blu did run the 12.995 @ 106 with exactly the mods he has listed and he has a video to prove it. And if you don't like it then just don't post in here. Neither one of us have ever lied to you guys and we're not going to start now. So if you choose not to believe it then that is your own internall issue you need to deal with but please don't bring it to us because you'll only make yourself look like a tard.

Thanks for sharing but I fail to see in his profile where it says "My ambition in life is to impress 3.0HO".
Yes anyone can do it but why is no one doing it? Why aren't you doing it if it's so easy?

slicks will actually slow the trap speed down a little because of how sticky they are. But more importantly You can't compare the times and trap speeds with FWD or AWD cars to the maxima. FWD makes our trap speeds high for our times because the maxima is not something that just hauls off the line. Our 60' are no where near that of a corvette or any v8 RWD domestic.

err, anyways, it doesn't even really matter what the trap speed is. What matters is the ET. That's what you run. The trap speed describes the powerband more than anything else. But what you run is the ET. That's what wins you races. Oh and cutting perfect lights.

This thread turned 
real quick. Damnit were do I start...
How about I make this thread better by starting with this
...alright now for starters, once we get near or over the 300whp mark the auto actually starts to beat the manual. Due to less shifting & consitency IMO. Its not "that" easy to run that # regardless of what any1 here thinks.
For one, the 00-01 cant really pull that off too easily, the auto tranny for the 3.5's is without a doubt built considerably tougher then the 3.0's tranny every was. For some1 like myself or you 3.0HO to run a # like that, a built tranny would definelty be called for. Thats not exactly a simple trick to pull to hit low ET's. I "personally" dont feel its worth it to make this car fast, yeah it looks good & has a health set of ***** but Its a daily driver and I would rather keep it realiable. I doubth im the only one who feels this way, so there is my .02. Im out.

Quite possible, as SR said..if it was so easy, then any1 could pull it off. If he actually had bigger slicks & a bigger shot (100-125) you guys would be surprized by the times the 3.5 auto is capable of pulling. Good for him though, only a select few here have hit 12's.

- I drive a 3.0 maxima not a 3.5
- My car is a 5spd not an Auto
- I want my car to last in the long run and keep my warranty
- I don't have the time
- My money can be spent in other places.
- I would go with a Turbo or SC if I was to boost at all

I honestly can't say that I'm much different than you, but that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate and RESPECT all of the hard work that these guys do and the effort that they put into them to get them running awesome times at the track. I do actually. Very much so!
I'm always fascinated to see what guys are able to run and with what. One day when I do have the time, do have the money, etc, I'll be able to apply all of the things that I learned thanks to guys like Matt and many others and build my own beast. Until that day, I'll just have to be happy with my stock slow car.

Great times man! If someone wants to explore what the maxima can do in the 1/4, MORE POWER TO THEM! At least they have the guts to do it!
I don't know if I would take such a new car and run nos but what the hell. If Blu wants to so be it.
Give the guy some props and be on your way.

if hes spraying obviously lots of torque! know what that is?traction, hes also auto so he dont have to shift. Thats how he got a 12.9. This is not a 4th gen maxima. Its a 3.5 and they are very fast w/some boost.
