    Default Took my Z to the track for the first time!

    Noob here! I took my car to the track for the first time this weekend and I am rather disappointed with it. I got me a lightly modded '95 Z28 A4 convertible. Below was my very first run of the night and was never able to make a faster run afterward. I kept getting consistent 14.5-14.6 all night.

    Mods:
    3795 race weight
    LT's, ORY, stock cat-back
    CAI
    Stock rear, but with 3.42's
    Nitto Neo Gen 19"
    No tune

    60' - 2.202
    330 - 6.140
    1/8 - 9.386
    MPH - 76.44
    1000 - 12.147
    ET - 14.470
    MPH - 97.41

    Is this normal for a lightly modded LT1 vert or do I got myself a factory turd?

    Sound about right for a stock Vert...3800# is heavy. Your HP from your weight and trap is right around 270 which is right in the ball park for a light bolt on lt1.

    Elevation could also be a factor in the slower times. Trap speed is a tad low for having exhaust done to it.

    looks like track elevation is 1145' (assuming Wild Horse Pass)
    I can approximate the DA given the time of the run if you like.

    Nice, Arizona. I live in the west valley. Yeah, 3700 DA is TERRIBLE air to be honest. Plus 91 degrees outside. Definitely not ideal for racing at all. Your car is running decent if it ran that time in those conditions.


    How is that track? Is it busy? I want to go there later in the year when temps cool off and the air gets better.

    Thank you all for the responses. My best run was made around 8:30pm at Wild Horse Pass. It was not packed at all. I got in nine runs total with letting the car sit for like an hour. The last Friday night drags event happened this weekend and the next one is in December. I heard that it gets pretty packed then.

    sounds about right, air makes a night an day difference. that's a lot of weight to be moved!

    Would it help my times if I switched to 17's?
