With trap speeds like that your car must weigh around 2800lbs...
Either that or you are driving it by remote control... :p
Our HP is basically the same and you are getting 3-4mph better trap speed...
I'm definitely digging out my [b]big bag of tricks...[/b]
Remote control...I like that

My car weighs 3120lbs with me in it and a 1/2 tank of gas and spare according to the truck scales. I weigh about 180lbs. So, I figure my car weighs about 2900lbs at the track. The 95-96 Maximas are the lightest to date. My registration says my car weigh 2985lbs. My aftermarket exhaust system weighs about 30lbs less than stock and my wheels are 15lbs lighter than stock (total).
I'm looking forward to racing you. I think the 97.8mph trapspeed was a freak occurance. It happens every once in while with my car. On average, my 11 runs this year have been in the 96mph range. What's cool is that I raced a 00 Stang GT on drag radials during my 14.68@97.8mph run. He ran a 14.3@98.9mph and had a worse reaction time, but at the far end he passed me, but really didn't pull on me for the last few hundred feet so I know the trapspeed wasn't a fluke.
I don't know what the deal is with my Maxima, but I've posted the fastest trapspeed for a NA Maxima, unfortunately not the best ET though (14.28@96mph). What's crazy is my runs are at 1000+' in altitude and that my corrected trap is over 99mph!!!! The closest 4th gen Maxima (95-99) posted 96.5mph and that's at Englishtown at below sea level and in 35 degree weather.
