The Anniversary Edition 350Z which has 300HP runs the 1/4 mile at 14.3, which is corrected, so all in all I don't think 15 flat is a horrible time for a regular Joe driving and not an ideal weather condition at the track. If I feel motivated, I'll do some corrections later on....

350z is heavy for its size and the VQ 6 as great as it is, still can't match a GS V8.

I'm running 265 series in the back, a staggered set-up. No traction issues at all..I think with the way the GS is rather soft off idle I can't imagine anyone having traction issues on a stock GS. My 60ft. times were high 2.1's low 2.2's. I more or less used to live at the track with my bikes and snowmobiles.

Although the quality of this pic isn't great, you can see I'm just coming off the line. You most defitnitely can see the back end of the GS squatting down on the launch. I beat the Mustang in this race. He had been running quicker than me most of the nite, but this pass he ran an 14.75..he may have missed a shift.

That's when the high hp FWD guys start having traction problems (13's).Least at my altitude anyways.
