Speed3 at the Drag strip ....

[mrdouble99]

Great times man, one of these days Im going to get down to the strip and run my car. Im hoping for somwhere in the neighborhood of 13.5 if I can get a good launch and conditions work out.

BTW, what blew up next to you on your 13.4 run? Good 60' and 330' times but then it slows....

It was a turbo M3 runing in the mid 10s

Has anyone ever raced against an Altima 3.5 R or whatever they are.... I wasn't at a drag strip but literally 1/2 hour ago a kid in one of these cut me off in a 55 zone going like 85 (at least) so I then flashed him when the highway opened up...he slowed and then I pulled along side. At a rolling 65 in 5th I blew his doors off. Don't they have like 270 hp or something like that? Anyway I was just curious how they did from a stop compared to an MS3.

The mods won't take kindly to talking about street racing. It's a no no in this forum. The other forum has a street racing section, so go there and post and we can talk about it.

I'm gonna do more agressive launch when i get the rear motor mount and the engine torque damper, but now i'm trying to save my stock motor mount lol.

If i can get my 60' into 1.9s i'm gonna be good for 13.2

i'm late to this discussion b/c my workplace decided to block the site, but after reading all the posts, the one quoted above, suggests to me the following: if you do keep the stock motor mounts & continue to do drag runs, chances are exponentially greater that the mount will break & the engine will collapse w/o the mount. Plenty of threads about this very topic, even ppl who did have the 07 TSB heftier motor mount bolt installed, only to discover ir broken & the aforementioned engine hanging by a thread.

I think the 2008+ have a factory-reinforced mm however seem to recall threads about yet the same experience. More scary stuff? Distincly remember someone posting about collapsed medieval mounts, which i though were the standard of the industry.

Bottom line? If yer gonna drag it [and i think you should, given the great times w/ only an SRI] , do some research (homework) & investigate the best mm for drag/autocross use. My dos centavos, but also what I would do if I was in your situation...(detect)

what siza toyo's were you running? nice times by the way!

your kidding right? the faster you leave the line, the faster u get to the trap overall. it's not as significant as 60' times but it still adds to time.

edit...

didn't read the thread. I FAIL
