so as many of you know i had an encounter with my buddy with a 96 M3/2/5 and i was able to pull him handily from a roll. with the local dyno being booked up, and knowing that trap speed shows power better, i made it out to pacific raceways tonight.
i got 6 runs in. my car has KN drop in/debaffled air box/custom magnaflow exhaust. i cannot verifiy is my car has a DINAN tranny chip, so take that into account.
my worst run was 15.239@93.96. left the ASC and on it crippled me with a 2.5 60'.
my best run was 14.712@95.89 with a 2.246 60'. i dont have a scanner but heres how the slip reads:
R/T...124
60'...2.246
330...6.289
1/8...9.501
1/8 mph....75.01
1000...12.330
1/4...14.712
mph...95.89
to my suprise even my auto has a hard time putting the power down off the launch. i power-braked it to about 2000RPM and then just hammered it. the result was wheel spin in first, and a heathly bark into second.
no matter how i launched the car, it spun first. it sounds odd but with drag radials i could easily get a 2.0 or 1.9 60' and rip off a 14.3-14.4 easy. it was about 75-80 outside and rather humid, and the car really never got a chance to cool down. it felt heatsoaked, as i sat in traffic and within 10 min made a pass down the strip.
on a cooler engine with DR's i honestly feel that it could run a 14.2 with ease.
on a fun side note, i race a 04 GTO twice he ran 14.2's@98 and i only had maybe 1-1.5 cars on me. raced my uncles trailblazer SS, its brand new and ran 14.3's@97, and just got faster everytime it ran.
so thats that.
Spanked by a trailblazer
my niece used to drag race some kind of GM turbo SUV, think it was a Typhoon. She dusted a lot of guys who thought they had fast cars. They run at Bandimere, 5000+ altitude, and turbos really kick ass there.
Auto= FTW
wonder how i'd do in the 1/4th... best at the 1/8 was 2.0 60ft and 9.1 1/8 with lotsa spin till top of 2nd (tires)..

thank you sir. alot of guys were supirsed when then looked in the window and saw it was autotragic. a few mustang guys(that were running the same times) came over to drop some compliments. whats funny is i was parked behind some decently quick integras(14.3's) and everyone walked past them to talk to me about my car. LOL BMW FTW! rofl.

Tony's correct... the Typhoon and the Cyclone are serious FI'd forged bottom ended 4.3L V6's. I would LOVE to get my digits on one of those machines!

Haven't been back to run it again since swapping in the 5-speed manual. But will soon...
i know a guy in the track section is putting down 1.6 60' but I dont remember his setup
The cars are by far way better from a roll. From a dig it's embarassing.
