That's because most of them cant drive, their cars are heavier, and most of the guys willing to do put the work into a max to have it either swapped to vq35 or a ton of bolt ons race alot.

Maybe it's because we drive better
Seriously though these guys aren't really pulling better 60 foots than us even though they are RWD. I always thought the performance of a z/G was somewhat dissappointed compared to the potential the VQ35 has. Extremely heavy 18-19-inch wheels, 3200-3400 pound curb weight... It should be more like 240's. Put a VQ35 in something a 240sx (2600 lbs) with lightweight 16-inchers and it'd be a blast to drive with 300 hp. It would run 12s stock.
Nissan could have a real monster on their hands, but EVERYTHING that has the VQ35 in it has heavy @ss wheels, a power-robbing transmission, heavy flywheel and a 3200+ lbs curb weight. That is why Vq35 in a 4th gen makes a lot of sense and performs so well (15-inch wheels and 2850 lbs, 5-speed with 18-pound flywheel). It would be even better in a 240 (a few hundred pounds lighter, RWD and better handling).
Most guys who have done the vq35 swap seem to have experience under their belt/know how to drive and are dedicated track guys. I'm the exception though, I only went to the track 3 times (twice with the 3.0, once with the 3.5).

I could be right back in it with slicks, but I doubt I will since I just bought a house, and have other priorities at the moment. Maybe when it cools off this fall I will get back into racing. I haven't even driven the maxima in a few weeks.

Not sure of names, but I know there's a Black 5.5g running a 13.6@103xx, bigdo? in a GLE w/a 14.1, A 4th gen or 2 14.1-2, and another 4th gen 13.9.. Like I said I can't state names but I do know they are out there.
*edit* now I remember it's for this summer.
the first guy I mentioned (13.6) is still in the race I believe...
#68
He ran the 14.1 but doesn't seem to post all that much anymore.
The other guy had a 97 Pebble beige running a 14.9 auto, and a 6 speed running 13.6 @ 103 ... Cannot remembe his name, but he's posted in the lst few days.

I'm thinking he's not putting you up there because you probably aren't going to mod that car to make it faster unless you come into some serious money.
And if krismax can hit a 1.7 60' he will probably be dipping in the 12's. SR20DEN is going to have to make some changes.
