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?

 

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
