Good job, nice times.

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

[cuda_dude]

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

[Rally Sport]

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

[97cavalier]

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

[drvngstorm05]

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 ... the cobra must be a new driver cuz those things have been known to hit mid 12's stock...

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

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.

[Genopsyde]

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

[Genopsyde]

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

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.
