dam i just keep getting better, with more miles on the car so i guess more broken in, i ran my car one last time.. new best 14.21 at 97 mph with a 2.0 60ft... previous best was a 14.48.. dropped the tire presure to 24.5, everybody said they where hooking up great so i figured id try something different.. usualy ill get the rpms up to 2300 light will turn green jump off the brake give it some gas when i feel like i have traction nail it.. this time rpms up light turned green nailed it right off the line... i got the perfect amount of wheel spin and just hooked and went, i also did this with the shifter in tiptronic leaving it in first gear and letting it shift.. usualy i leave it in drive.. i was shocked as hell... now i think im #2 in the top 10 fastest times, i think one person beat my time so far.. i dont at all think i have a freak but i do think the hp rating in these cars are highter than they say.. now lets hope the altima se-r thats coming out cant beat our maximas... my avg was 14.3s with 2.1 60fts. temp in the mid 60s
very impressive. dont think i'll be able to touch that tomorro when i hit the drags for the first time this season. Very nice times!
your best is a 14.6, the 02 and 03 maximas run on an avg as far as i can tell the same as the 04s.. whats the fastest stock auto 02 or 03?? and thanks brother it took practice to get the launch done the right way evan though its an auto.. "ITS STILL A ***** TO LAUNCH THE RIGHT WAY"
i am very impressed. the max has come a long way cause 14.2 is anything but slow. i know for a fact that if i was watching the race i would swear you were s/c or something. great freakin numbers.i have a auto also but i have to work hard to get those numbers. good job.
I think the Auto's are easier to launch, and they don't seem to suffer much from driveline loss.
Good job.

thanks guys for the compliments... but the funny thing is the auto isnt easy to launch, i always thaught an auto was easy to launch until this car lol.. u can tap the gas pedal and the tires just spin.. my first run ever i just lit the tires up for about 100 ft. it took practice to get to the 14.2 trust me. i dont like beating on the car at all but now that im at the time where i wanna be, ill give my baby a rest lol..
Sure you'll give it a rest... you'll be itching for 13's soon. I just got my 14.4 and i'm itchin for a 14 flat now. Definatly attainable with new tires and headers. Then i'm gonna want to touch the 13's maybe by doin some weight reduction.... its addicting this racing thing.

lmao your right i figure if i get better tires and maybe intake i could run maybe maybe a 13.99 definitley a 14.0 on a good run... dam bro 14.4 no bad at all. u should run my brother in his 03 acura cl type s with just intake his best run was far is a 14.4 at 96 mph..

aint that the truth. i thought id be happy with a 14.6 when i first went to the track then i hit 14 sec and still not happy. it just becomes a hobby after a while. i'll be going back next week to try and improve my times.
damn, thats awesome, nothing dont and cuting 14.2s, what happens if you moded the car????...i couldnt imagine, if i was cuting 14.2s id be happy but unsatisfied, your never satsifeid i guess
