runt Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 He would have had a quicker 1/4mi if he didn't smoke the tires off of the line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 SWEET! EDIT: That's almost exactly how I feel about the car! I like the 92 seats in the '91, the 90 cluster, and the different prototype fuel injection cover. Anyone see the STE in the background at the track?

Cam'ron Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 not too shabby in the slalom lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviLette Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 not too shabby in the slalom lol That was what I was thinking. I was like, "Wow, stock W-body handle like that?" Then it occured to me that this video was made before they were even available. LOL! So brand new, I guess so. I LOVE the exterior styling on the Z's. Have for a long time, they grow on me... I just can't get past the front dash. LOL. Still, awesome find though. I'm still smiling over the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Rare car too, weren't there only like 30 91 5 speeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Rare car too, weren't there only like 30 91 5 speeds? Not that low, but thats a preproduction model. Hence, the seats, different engine cover, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBULS Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 He would have had a quicker 1/4mi if he didn't smoke the tires off of the line! My best launches involve tire smoke and wheelspin. If you bog, it goes WAY slower. With my old 225/60R16's (Dunlop D40 M2's), I'd usually do best with a 2700rpm clutch drop, which would spin the tires to just past 4K rpm on most surfaces. With the 245/50R16's (Kumho 711's), I usually do better with about a 2500rpm release, which hooks at 3600-3800rpm.........because if I get too far up the 3500-4K rpm torque swell, the tires don't STOP spinning until around 5500-6K.........but even THAT is still better than bogging it off the line. My bet is that they were usuing redline shifts...........which as we all know, is about 500rpm too high for 1-2 and 2-3 on a 5 speed LQ1.
