I never put more than 6 gallons of gas in my car to keep some weight off.

LOL... well you saw the article in SS about the 200sx didnt you . weight is a big factor . I also will take everything else out of the car when I start going to the track . wont help much but it could be the difference between 15.3 and 14.9..

I thought that the Sentra was four doors and the 200SX is two, and they're both available in the states.

I believe the 2l turbo is known as the 200sx in Japan, while the 1.8l n/a is called the Suny Lucino. In the US the B14 coupe was called the 200sx while the 4-door was called the Sentra. (I think) oh, and the new Sentra which is how this discussion got started is in fact called a Sentra for both the coupe and 4-door versions.

Coomer, I think that you are correct. Also get a faster car, were not designed for the strip, but more for the track. Bryan |

A light fuel load helps alot, half a tank and below makes a big difference. Make sure u have anything you dont need out of your car too. If you do have a passenger then make them sit back as far as the seat goes for better weight distribution. If you look at the rally cars, the navigator sits really low and back.
