Took my Stock-ish BRZ to the 1/4mile. Very pleased

Nice. Didn't think the quarter mile on this car could be that good.

Nice pics...we haven't seen many drag pics with mostly stock 86's. It's usually just the big turbo builds.

Good times, man, nice to see BRZ owners winning on the strip after having to hear so much about the twin's lack of power/numbers.

These cars are super slow in a straight line.

Bragging about barely beating some old crapbox Mustang..

Everything is relative. Theres no car on earth that cab beat yhe teletron 5000 that will come out in 20 years so why should anyone bother? Maybe..... fun?

I think I'm going to try and head back this Friday. Weather should be fairly similar to last time (according to the forecast), if anything, it'll be hotter.

I've since installed a Zeta intake tube to delete the sound generator. I also have a set of rear diff bushings I'd like to get installed if I have the time.

Not expecting any measurable improvement from either, but I'd like to see if I can get my 60ft down and trap 95+. The car trapped 95.2 on a previous run, but I had a poorer 60ft. Im thinking there's a 14.5 in the car.

Will update!

Perrin Crank pulley
Perrin drop in air filter
Perrin shift and trans bushings

That's it. I was very pleased with my times. Ran it 5 times total. I was very happy with its consistency.

This was my best run of the night.

Great numbers! I hope that my numbers are some where near those.

Was this with stock wheels and tires? Also do you know the DA - Density Altitude? Here in Southern California we have a DA above 2,000 at Fontana Auto Club Speedway. I haven't taken the BRZ up there yet but my GT-R ran multiple 11.1 @ 124mph.

I'm hoping for solid #'s out of my 100% stock BRZ.


Cheers,

Yes, it was on the stock wheels and tires on the stock pressures.

Here's the upcoming DA for the track I will be running at. I don't know what the #s were on the night that ran.

I don't know if you noticed, but it's 2014.

Our cars would have been fast during the Stone Age, too.

Everything is perspective.
