Think you will be getting a shorter FD? Any plans for other mods?

Wouldn't a shorter FD kill its daily street driving? Unless this is a pure track car, but to my understanding this was also a street car.

If you spend a lot of time on the hwy then it might. I rarely touch the highway... and 4.5ish isn't THAT short.

He had a great launch and 60' time@ 1.89 ! This isn't a dragster on slicks..

You did great! Nice runs and a great 60'. Good trap speed as well for NA.

Exactly... I'm not so excited to run quicker. My target was to hit 13s before everybody else. Mission accomplished

There will always be someone who's faster eventually. I'm happy with my setup and I tend to keep it a DD toy

An auto 350z and g35 are not that fast....a catted frontpipe and tune makes wrx's sweat which are a bit faster than an auto350z.
A stock GS460 is only 13.9. So possible.

Now a manual 370z is another thing entirely.... Low 13's stock.

Awesome times! Didn't think i'd see an NA with pretty standard mods hitting 13s. This is very encouraging.

I had an 07 GS450h. Fun to mess with people in that.

Nice...smoked that red 86 by several cars and more than 2 secs! 4.56 FD supposedly gains 3+ cars lengths over stock FD ..so maybe low 13s or even high 12s

Nice vid but umm why are you burning your tires, was there trash on your tires, did they make you drive through the water box??.... you can't heat cycle the factory tires...

power/heat cycling is something you do to soft compound tires to make then more sticky.

just curious
