Damn, a 1.65 short time on street tires, that's gotta be some kind of record. Great driving bro!

You put some ET Streets on that car and you"ll be knocking on the door of the 10's. What are your mods? Just curious.

A 1.65 on street tires is insane. I'd say you don't need slicks if you can do that repeatedly!
Congrats!

I've got Toyo's on my Z too and all my friends think I'm a freak with consistant 1.7 shorts. My best is a 1.67 on those tires. I am so pleased with these tires, I hate to go to drag radials and give up the handling and wet weather traction. Great driving bro, would love to hear your mods, as we have similar E.T. and MPH #'s.

Sweet run! Bald tires are better IMO even street tires. I only hear great things about those tires and they handle great too. Now you'll need a roll cage!

i hope tro try again because there was a real bad head wind on this day so i think i would have had some more mph in that run.

This was at 3800-4000 , what do you think the car could do with a 5500 jump if it would hook and maybe another 1 mph or so. my guess is it might be a 11.1- 11.2 car even on slicks i guess. I still have some bolt ons to do like a pullie and fast intake that might help me get that 10.99
