All in all it wasn't a bad day, as for mods there in my sig and I don't have the high flow cat on yet.

Good job, nice times.

How come the 03-04 cobra was running so slow?

those are some great times for that few of mods...

Who cares, I barely lost to it. I think it was new for the guy, or he couldn't drive a manual?

Lost to a civic with nitrous? Wonder what else he had done to it.

that is great time for the mods you have. great job!!! did you run street tires?

nice times, broke into the 13's once good job... too bad u didn't run that good against the cobra, you woulda got him :D... the cobra must be a new driver cuz those things have been known to hit mid 12's stock...

that is great time for the mods you have. great job!!! did you run street tires?
Yeah I just used the Proxes, they did a good job of hooking up once they were warm, much better than stock.

See, thats why Auto's kick ass. Never a missed gear and beating your way into the 13's with nothing more than a catback exhaust. Nice times and congrats and having a quick LT1 that can only get faster from here.

I later found out it was an H22 with 50shot of nitrous, I had him all the way thru the 1000ft mark

What were your 60' times??

Today I finally went to the track with my TA. I got in a total of 7 races.

First Race- 05 Turbo Maxima (Win)
Me/Him
RT- .79 (very first time at track) vs 1.185
1/4- 14.246 vs 14.923

i'm willing to bet that maxima wasn't turbo. 3.5 equipped maxima's run high-mid 14's stock. if he had a turbo he'd be putting out over 350 WHP and be running low 14's-13's.

how come the ones I see run mid 15's?

and 350 whp would be in the mid 12's easily.

how come the ones I see run mid 15's?
couldn't tell ya. i have a 3.5L 6 speed and the only time i went to the track i personally ran a 15.03@94mph with 19" rims on, bald tires and not track prepped(still had my jack, spare tire and subs in the trunk). and being that it was my first time i had bad R/T's and 60' times. if you want to search through the timeslip database at forums.maxima.org the fastest stock 1/4 mile time recorded for a 6th gen maxima(2004+) is a 14.6x at, i think, 97 mph.
and 350 whp would be in the mid 12's easily.you're right. maybe a little lower seeing as how it's fwd. my point was that if the maxima there were turbo it should have run way better than a 14.92.

prolly wasn't turbo then like you say. the owner prolly just said it was. R/T's don't effect the 1/4 time btw tho.

Unless ur tranny is slipping like mine...then all u get is bouncing off the rev limiter.

Yea it looks like from the times the Cobra had some traction issues, and prolly some shifting issures.

What were your 60' times??

It was that guys first time at the track also. He was later running 14.1's and I believe he did hit a 13.8

Nice... what kind of tires?? 2.1 ain't half bad on regular street tires... work on your launch, getting the 60' consistantly as low as you can, and your ETs will love it

Nice... what kind of tires??

I used the Toyo Proxes, 245-45-17 all the way around

a 2.1 60' on 245s on 17" wheels? Damn

R/T's don't effect the 1/4 time btw tho.
you sure? if you look at the thread starters times, each time his R/T improved, so did his 1/4 mile time. notice how the run with his lowest r/t and 60' is also his only run in the 13's.

It was that guys first time at the track also. He was later running 14.1's and I believe he did hit a 13.8
that sounds about right to me. damn, i wish i had been there to see it. i'm impressed by the fact that you managed to get 7 runs in. at the track i've gone to we got 4. and i've gone as a spectator since then and everyone there only got 2-3 runs.

i'm quite sure, 60' time affect E/T, but R/T doesn't, the timer doesn't even start until the car moves off the line. example, say my car runs 14.5 consistantly, i could sit there at the line after the light turns green for exactly 4.5 seconds, then launch like normal and cross the finish in the normal time, the e/t will not be a 20, it'll be a 14.5 like usual. give it a try next time you're out if you don't believe me.

ah, i get what you're saying.

Yeah I am to, I was there at 9 in the morning then left a 5 in the afternoon, it was a long day.
