went to the dragstrip yesterday

We rented the track to test and tune a couple of our customer's GTRs today. So I thought I would make a couple passes in my GT2 in pump gas (93 octane) mode to see what she would do. Car was running in 100 percent street trim on continental Vmax tires at full air pressure. This is exactly how I drive it on the street everyday and just wanted to make a couple passes to see what she would do. First pass, left the traction and stability control on. Traction control kicked in first gear even with a soft launch. First pass was 11.53 @ 139.57 mph. 60 ft time was 2.27 . On the second pass, I turned the stability and traction off. Even with a soft launch, car spun through first and second. I ran a 11.14 @ 140.20 mph. 60 ft time was 2.215. Peak boost hit 22.5 psi and settled down to about 20.5 psi. I concluded that next time I should try a set of drag radials and give it another shot. On the flip side, the E900 GTR (E85) ran a best of 9.62 @ 145.9 mph and the R1K GTR (C16) ran a best of 9.38 @ 156.9 mph. Had a great time at the track with a group of great guys!
