Did a search for this but couldn't find anything? My son ran the 1/4 mile at Commerce drag strip yesterday with his 2009 G37 Sedan against my other sons 2008 Trailblazer SS. The G37 ran 13.66 at 102.73 MPH and the Trailblazer 14.16 at 98.5 MPH. I mentioned I would like to see what my FX50S would do against either one?
Anyone have any idea what I could expect to do in the 1/4 mile with my stock FX50S?
I understand that it does 0 - 60 in approximately 5 seconds?
My G37 son said it would be close, but how close?

Back in September I did a 14.2 @ 98.5mph during the first time I tried in my FX. It definitely has better in it so the 13.5 @ 100mph listed above is certainly realistic for anyone with a little practice launching.

Took my FX50 to the 1/4 mile drag strip for the first time:


Mods: Custom Resonated Test Pipes, HKS knockoff Mufflers. (ypipe, midpipe are stock) + Partial UpRev tune (no ignition timing adjustment and the test pipes were not tuned in i.e. I added them after the tune)




Best R/T: .533
Best 60': 2.096
Best 1/8: 8.860 @ 81.16
Best 1/4: 13.697 @ 102.02
Altitude @ 45 degrees

What was your launch technique? Actually, what is the proper way to launch our FXs?

Ran my FX50:

Two runs:
60ft: 2.05, 2.07
1/8th: 8.71, 8.78
1/8th MPH: 81.89, 81.76
1/4: 13.50, 13.59
1/4 MPH: 102.81, 102.26

Also, weighed it at 4440lbs (I did remove about 114lbs of misc things from the vehicle). 66degF at the track (Etown). She was very consistent! 1st run was the "slower" run. I cooled down for about two hours before the second run. Also, no difference in 60' from normal takeoff vs. brake revving.

Good times, did you shift or just let the sport mode shift itself.

Thanks. DS mode, auto shift. I did notice the shifts are just lazy in whatever mode I use. Shame really, as quicker shifts could have probably shaved a few tenths. I could feel it up top when shifting to the next gear; Vehicle would just sit there for a period of time at high rpm not necessarily accelerating while the trans shifts to the next gear, then you would feel it pull again.

Can't wait until Transgo or someone else releases a shift kit for this trannies, if ever.
