Very slow, but not the car's fault. Needs a better driver.

My first time at the track, I need practice.

Does have LSD.

Didn't rev high off the line. I kept my foot completely off the gas until it was time to go, then slowly rolled on. Still couldn't get traction. Once again, inexperience FTL

Idk much about sentra's and wouldn't drive one neways but props to them for being dedicated to that make and model.
313whp, 360 ft/lb on 14psi. I was making those runs on 8psi, don't have exact numbers for that amount of boost.



Anyway, I also completely fucked my transmission up that day. On just about every run I missed a gear (or two!) and instead of cruising to the finish line and getting ready for the next run I tried to make up for lost time and got a little rough with the tranny. A few miles down the road after leaving the track I lost every gear, starting at 6th and working its way down. Had to get a tow truck to take me all the way down to Petersburg
