Decided sense it was such a beautiful day today that I was going to clean the car up & take her up the track to meet up with fellow z'er Brad from Z Solutionz. With having to wait till Blacktwin got home from work before I could get to the track, I took three hours to clean up the car. Ended up clay barring her, polishing her, and waxing her. The finish was beautiful in the end.

Here are some pics of the track and home.

Nice times....you would put up good fights against the N/A 350s on here.

How often do you guys hit the strip?

Yeah I dunno what's up with our Zs. It really disappoints me. My old Z STOCK was running 13.9s on the stock 17s/Potenzas. Then w/ popcharger - 13.8 and with headers/test pipes - 13.6. This Z I have popcharger, exhaust and plenum spacer and can't break 13s.. what a bunch of bullshit.

I never broke 13's either and stopped caring a long time ago.

Ray would always whip up on us in his NA 350z...nobody stood a chance!

yea but eric look at what you have a fucking sexy ass car. i have only been to two different drag strips one was the 1/8 and the other a 1/4
given that i only owned the car about a week before it hit the strip it was bone stock and ran 13.8@102
1/8 bone stock with a hole in the i/c ran 8.79 dont remember the trap speed.
im a little more modded now but its still a damn neon. who cares if your cars that fast its sick as hell. its kind of like when guys own a ferrari f430 and get beat by a supra, yea u beat a ferrari. But that other guy drives a ferrari and u still drive a supra.
