14.788 @ 91.74 BONE STOCK 4th gen

My friend Bobby (h2kPinkPanthr) ran an absolutely amazing time at the track this Sunday... He ran a 14.788 @ 91.74 BONE STOCK, he has ABSOLUTELY no mod's and I am a witness to it... He nailed the launch, R/T was good, shifted super fast... he ran a perfect run.

He's one of the fastest stock, that's for sure. I believe Veetec ran a 14.7 stock and nealoc187 ran a 14.8 stock. Good job....

So was there any prepping at all? He has the same oem tires? Same oem suspension?

I realize he is stock as far as 'intake/exhaust' are concerned.

This guy is going to be another nealoc if he mods his car. Running 13's N/A, although I'm pretty sure ceasar's chariot could be running 13's if he either put in a MEVI or put on slicks.

That's pretty impressive

It just shows you how important a good launch is because his MPH is pretty normal for stock (not even 92mph) which suggests he's not making anymore than around 165whp/175wtq.

Just a question...why did the Left lane win with a 15.8 compared to your friend's 14.7?
I couldn't figure it out by looking at the slip.

Since there is a DIAL in time, I assume it's a bracket race. Looks like the 14.7 time "broke out" of his 15.00 dial in time. My guess anyway.

very good run...

but were the tires REALLY the exact ones that came with the car? To get that kind of traction off the line is SICK, my best 1/4 mile is a 14.802, but my main problem is my 60ft times...the Nissan supplied Potenza's can't get any traction off the line...

Hell, it was like 50 degrees out the day I ran a 14.802..

AND I HAVE A FRICKIN 3.5L!!!

good run!

Since the car is at least 5yrs old it is almost impossible it would have the exact same tires that came on the car.

tires are not what pull good 60 foots (excluding slicks tha is). A good driver is what pulls good 60 foots. If your running street tires it really does not matter much what kind or size they are. I have pulled a 2.14 60' on junky, salvaged, off brand, all season 205/65 15.

Also keep in mind, he ran that time in 75-80 degree humid assed Louisiana weather. His car has Toyo Proxes tires on it... 215/55/16 on the stock 5 spoke's that came on the 98 SE's... Here are some pics, if I had some of the engine bay I would upload em, but I can take some next time he's over at my place. He got an absolutely awesome deal on the car, he just got it a couple months ago... 98 SE 5spd, fully loaded, southern car its whole life, driven by a woman, very well maintained, engine bay was spotless when he bought it, drove like new, the interior was well kept up, for a car with 99,000 miles it's pristine... He got it for $7500.

Notice that his car is also stock height in the bottom pic next to my car my 5th gen is obviously alot lower... I have Tein S-Tech springs.

A side shot of both of our cars... and it was VERY humid outside which is why it looks like there's a load of dog crap on my hood... And no I didn't go mud riding, I went down a muddy driveway

VeeTec, I've always been a little sceptical of your slip, but now having witnessed for my own eyes a stock 4th gen run that time, I'm not anymore... And my god man... you almost pulled a 2.0 60' on street tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now imagine if you had some street tires that actualy had some traction..don't you think it has something to do with the tires?

Sure, the driver has a lot to do with it, but you can't completely discount quality tires.

I bet that my times get better when I finally replace my Potenzas..In fact, I may wait on my CAI and Headers to see if just the tires decrease my times.

I dont doubt this happened exactly as written, just check out the 1/8th mile and 1/4 trap. I spoke to Mike the other day, and he sort of educated me on 3.0L top end stock and with mods, so 18 mph seems right.

That 60' is insane though, I pray to hook up one time and get a 2.15 60'. The last few times I've been to the track I've run 14.90s with 2.35 60's.

The weather thing is peculiar too. You would think with as warm and muggy as it was, that he wouldnt be trapping close to 92mph, but I ran 94mph trap in 80 degrees too, so I know it isn't impossible to get a good trap in warm weather, just count on traps going down as you keep coming around.

What were his other times?

Very quick car, he found a good one!

I have ran with "sticky" street tires.......but I don't pull any better 60'. I have even run both sets on the same day with no difference.

You are fooling yourself if you think spending money on expensive street tires will result in better 60 foots. practice launching will lower your 60 foot Driver has everything to do with it.
