Message	Went drag racing for the first time tonight. I was only kinda excited about it because A) it's not really the Z's strong point and B) I have a stock clutch and stage 3 upgrades (intake, exhaust, ECU). Anyways, I almost never launch the Z hard, so I sucked at my launches. The rear was hopping all over the place, despite subframe spacers and brand new tires (Yoko ES100's). I blame it on me more than the car though. Regardless, I was kinda dissappointed in my times, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one at fault here...does my Z run as hard as a stage 3 Z should? I know it's possible to extrapolate a lot from a timeslip, so here's my best one. I'm just wondering if you drag guys can help figure out if my car is running as strong as it should.
