The following was obtained from a program called "CarTest"...I plugged in infomation about the car (Specifications), and it generated the "standing start acceleration" results.....thought it might be interesting for y'all.

That's an awesome time!! =D anyhow, i'm about to get the eibach prokit.. (ordered.. waiting for delivery).

my question is, how do you like it so far?

and i got a question about these performance specs.. 10.5 compression.. i'd love to bump that up to 11.. how much hp do u think we'll gain?? 15 and about.. 15 lbs of torque??

alright.

Good time stunna! I hope I can pull those times. By the way, just out of curiousity, what did you race that did the 13.1 quarter mile?

typeSmaximum

Did 14.5 with only headers and exhaust. Just installed a comptech foam filter to replate the dirty stock one with 15K miles and now chips HARD in 2nd at WOT. If these cars get better tires, I think this car will perform VERY well. 60 foot is almost mid 2 seconds!

Nighthawk ran 14.6 with only an intake.

damn.. we have a crappy drag coeff. i'm so envious of the g35 and its crazy ass .25 or .26 drag
