Just raced a 350Z, Mustang GT and Acura TL Type S

Well my predictions are that my truck runs high 13s/ low 14s but more like 14 FLAT, heres why:

1st race: Raced one of my buddies 350Z 6spd w/ exhaust, intake, headers = 13.5 in 1/4 mile and he pulled 3 cars on me all the way to 80 where we shut off.

2nd race: Raced my other buddies 01 Acura TL Type S w/ exhaust, intake, headers, v-tec controller and some more bolt-ons= low 14s in 1/4 and I pulled 1 car on him the whole way till 90 and the pull started to get stronger but I ran out of road.

3rd race: 02 Mustang GT 5spd, intake, headers, x-pipe, exhaust, chip= high 13s in the 1/4 and he only pulled 1 car on me through 80 where we also shut off:

All races were obviously off a line with: O/D OFF, EDGE JUICE at LEVEL 5, 2WD launch and the only the only one I brake torqed was the Acura at 5lbs of boost which put me sideways for a few seconds and slight wheel spin and that is with my 35" tires and the current set-up on my sig.

You could probably put all three on a trailer and pull em around.

Now just add some pressure via an xzt or mp-8 and you should hang with the Z. Add a turbo and watch your buddies cry.

Get a MP-8 and watch them in the mirror, I do. I can run a Z06 vette till 100 then they pull away but our trucks are done when we get that fast anyway.

Those little Z's are slick. I guess they can make real good power with a couple grand worth of mods and some good tuning. I saw a high hp Z (I beleive it was 700 something) on a supercharger. It was a sleeper, it looked like it rolled off the factory floor.

I was thinking the Stang would of given you the most trouble.

What year Z06 can you run with until 100? Those new c6's fly from the factory floor.

I know the old z06 with 405hp were slow!!! I raced 1 a few years back and it had a shot of 175hp. We raced down the 1/8 and he only got a time of 8.1. I hit 7.9 with street tires and a 306 with no power adders, its a shame. he spent 55k just for his car alone and i paid 3k for my car alone. But that doesnt include the mods!!!!!!!!!

Viking...just for reference with the Edge Hot and my Puck, I pulled on my buddy's 350Z in pretty decent form...he had absolutely NOTHING on me until I hit 100mph and ran out of speed, THEN he finally started gaining on me. As for a Mustang GT, I pulled on one of those on the highway as well...from 70-100, it wasn't even a competition. I don't know about TL Type S, but RSX Type S don't have a chance. Now I DID race one of my buddies in his supercharged Hyundai Tiburon...THAT was a close one...we were pretty much dead even. Until I again hit that governer

Like folks are saying...get some pressure and you'd be surprised how much they help.

Even an older Vette. 2002 or a 2003 can run mid 13's from the factory. Add a healthy dose of NOS and you'll be hard pressed to run with him. He must of been spinning nearly the whole 1/8th mile.

I wasn't going to post this, but, since this thread has already kind of wandered....

The only STOCK mustang in the last 20 years capable of running 13s is a very recent supercharged cobra. Sorry man, I don't buy an stock '88 running faster than high 14s with a perfect launch, great driver, perfect weather, and low elevation. I've been around them too much and done too much illegal street racing. Most 88s would run 15-15.2 I had a 90 that I know wasn't below 14.5. Of the three cars he raced, the Z is by far the fastest out of the dealer lot.

I second this. A stock '93 will only run a high 14, and that's with a good driver. My cousin has a '91 with intake, exhaust, pulleys, and all the other bolt-ons. He can drive really well and the fastest that car has done is a 14.0. A cam and heads will put it into the high 12's, but for now it's still a good 1/2 second slower than my Mega Cab!
