The Z is going to the track tonight.

Well boys & girls.... I've been building my 280ZXT for many years now... it's seemed to be endless & have no real point. Well, that may change now, as tonight I'm taking her to the track to see what she'll do. She's not registered, so I need to gingerly drive down there. But I'm hoping to break into the 13 sec & 100+mph mark. Wahoo!!!

11s in a 250rwhp Z??? sounds kinda low to me. I might have some numbers confused but this amazingly fast 3rd gen RX7 I rode in putting down about 420rwhp is in the 11s too... Maybe its because of traction loss... he's only got 285s on the rear wheels

So here are my 4 times from last night... I didn't make it into the 13's... Fastest time was 14.461 @ 98.07mph on 12 psi boost. I missed 2nd gear on the first run... doh!

Anyway, I guess it's purdy good for barely finishing the Z31T ecu swap & not tuning it.

I'M THE LEFT LANE ON ALL FOUR TIMES

At least you're consistent in the launch.

Tire slippage, any? a 2.4 60' suggests that, to me.

Not bad at all, though. Clean runs, for the most part.

Welp... better late than never I guess. Put together a clip of my Z at the track. There was more footage, but nothing else worth adding in. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...99&q=nismopick
