Might have been something wrong with his car. I don't know what your mods are , though. I have seen a 5-spd Z32 run 13.5-13.8 alll stock. The auto would be a touch slower. He may also have clogged cats , seems to be a typical problem happening to the older Z32s. I watched one auto Z32 with clogged cats run a 15.5 last I was at the track. We were looking at it in the pits and his engine had that stuffed up sound , kinda like a vacuum cleaner with a full bag.........

How much do you have done to your Z? Also the autos are not just a tad bit slower they are down 20hp to the manuals and the slushbox isn't all that great. With a good driver in a slightly modded Z31T an auto Z32TT will have some issues. But something has to be wrong with his car if you aren't running atleast 8-10psi with quite a few little bolt ons.
With 10 lbs of boost and a good launch an auto might just be within your kill range. He must not have had a good launch though still.
Times run mid 13s to low 14s(14.2-14.3) on the stock TT Z32. The higher number is prolly for the auto cars. Considering I ran a 13.9 at 15 psi , I'd still say that the TT he raced was way sluggish , even for an auto.

I used to smoke BPU Z32 TT 5 spd cars all the time. I only spent $180 doing it too. Then again, a C5 vette was easy prey too. Stock turbo, non intercooled, stock fuel, and 16 psi. 6 months later, still ran like a champ, beating the crap out of head/cam 5.0 stangs. NEVER underestimate the power of a Z31 turbo.

I don't recommend the 16 psi approach , and I was beating head/cam 5.0s at the track with less........

Really? Do you have any dyno charts or time slips? 16 psi on pumped gas with no IC? Hmmm... I would really like to know more?

When my Z32 was BPU (JWT ECU, boost jets, 13.5 psi boost, POP charger and HKS exhaust), I ran 13.6@105, so your $180 Z31 was faster than that?
What sort of things did you do for $180?
