Guess My New Time (clue)
I got a new best time today, but I'm not posting it until I rip the video of it to show at the same time. Use the following clues to guess my new best and we'll see how close you get:
new best time is already shown in video at the end of this page somewhere
new best time is already shown in video at the end of this page somewhere
we trap 94mph around 14.8s.

I will post the videos when I see 25 real votes (or I will just post them on monday evening if we have not reach 25 by then. they are finished and I have 2 videos to show. 1 is 2.1MB and the other is 7.1MB (but I provided a truncated version at 4.1MB). enjoy the wait... it will be worth it
did you have any new mods after yr Ypipe?
you did a 14.56 last time @ 93mph(?) or something close to that, you won't be this happy making all of us guess if it was a 14.44 so I'm guessing 14.37
what was teh car beside you?? good 60 foot but runs out of steam, OHV engine car?

OK... I got the data I wanted... thanks for your predictions... enjoy
Here is the setup I used:
JWT intake + cattman Y-pipe (old rusty one, thanks ejj) + Apexi WS catback.
19lbs front tires
36lbs rear tires
stripped interior: removed rear base + front seat + spare + jack
removed fuel pressure regulator (100% flow always)
Here is the launch that I used:
2400 RPM drop the clutch
shift to 2nd at redline
shift to 3rd at 6400
shift to 4th at 6350
and now for the movies:
---------------------------------------------
all movies are in MPEG (AVI) fomat and I recommend turning up the sound a little.
The First movie:
Slower run - view from outside of car (2.1MB)
The Second movie:
LARGE - fastest run - view from inside of car (7.3MB)
the low version is the same quality but has the extra stuff cut out
SMALL - fastest run - view from inside of car (4.1MB)
please note that I forgot to mention my y-pipe as a mod in the video, as you can understand I was in a little shock. I thought it would be more fun to present this way because you get to go throught all the emotions that I did when I was going down the return lane not knowing just how good
for those who can't download, i'm sure somebody will spill the beans or I will just post a pic of the timeslip in a day or so.. I really think its more impressive to download and watch me do it

Welp I WAS able to download the "short" one, even tho its acts weird(long story), BUT Aaron ran a 14.28. OH MY GOD. Maybe it was the lack of seats, but jeeze....his car is scary. I swear its faster than it should be.
Aaron, put the seats back and and yank the body kit(they will cancel each other out)

impressive run considereing only $700 of mods. congrats.
just a few more comments. scares the hell outta me when i see people race w/1 hand on the wheel and 1 on the shifter. I know it won't happen, but what if something goes wrong like u lose an axel. (like too much torque or something.)
2nd thing is, did u hit 4th gear? kinda looked like u did, but couldn't tell for sure. and then u went to 5th when u finished? You're fidgety about the shifter before the race just like me...i have this habbit of playing w/the shifter partially cuz i'm nervous.
Like other said, a few more mods and you're in the 13's! Bet that FF guy would be impressed of your all motor!

I've noticed that 1 hand driving is just as popular as 2 hand...just check out the other drivers when you're stuck @ rush hour...it's like 50/50. What's even worse is people who take onramps @ high speed w/1 hand. I hate how nissan makes the steering feel so numb...too much power assist. anyways, hope u 1handers don't get into any trouble (imagine the airbag coming out and you smacking yourself)
