Sprint, if you think our cars are slow, why didn't you show up to prove that it's true?

Hey, don't 17s and a 150 heavier interior count for anything? I figure that's .2 seconds. That, and whatever my dyno problem was should have brought me to a FASTER time. But of course this is all theory.

You and theblue could have had a good shootout. I ran against him and he kicked my a$$. It was fun to see what my car could do though.

I ran three 14.8s in a row and a couple 14.9s and 15.0s. I guess you can't call it my track anymore...

don't worry next time I go to the track I'll get one... and just think what will happen after a y-pipe :-) (the only reason I'm not getting one just yet is because I want a 14.7 without it)

what is your best 14.7x ? and what was the MPH and 60' ?

Nice times! And other Maxima people witnessed it in real life not a "magical" 14.7 and a no show.

Aww, I liked thinking that we were on a magical track... You had to go and ruin it, didn't you Aaron?

Mr Confused is on my revenge list.

Sprnt, you shouylda came. Then you can show us the 14.7 run.

Aaron- when sprnt ran his 14.7 he had a 2.19 60ft and finished with a 93-94mph trap speed. Too bad i havent seen any other 14.7 besides that.

If theblue is doing 14.8 time and time again (and on that lousy track) and not just a one hit wonder to live by I have a feeling he will break 14.6 or lower easily once that Y-pipe goes on let alone a UDP. I guess the best way to do it is to be at the same track at the same time?

you can tell theblue to bring it down to Etown.. his best there is still 15.1

so if he is running .3 secs faster everywhere else.. well damn.. i guess i am running 14.4

no y-pipe for me until I get a 14.7 first.. but I think you are right about 14.6-14.4 once I have a y-pipe

Speaking of which Aaron, I am putting the new Y on tomorrow, so if you want me to hold on to the old one so you can have a look let me know.

you are spining too much on your launch.. look at your 60ft .. it will tell you.. if its lower than 2.2 then you are messing up on your launches

maybe you are hitting NOS too early

i sprayed once i hit 3500rpms in first on that run. my 60ft was 2.34 which is pretty damn good for an auto. my sticky *** Pirelli's were hooked up by the time i sprayed, i had no spinning Problem, just a little spin and hop, nothing bad at all. I need to figure this out.
