I was like WTF? Your numbers make way more sense for a car with this much power... I am not sure what is wrong with the car featured in Roundel or maybe the owner has no clue what he is doing?? He did say it was on stock tires, but still... i have seen better than 12.3 from 335 with bolt ons...

Appreciate the props! 1/4 mile ET's are almost solely based on the launch, while I've seen worse than 2.06, lol, as Jason said it's not a good one. However last time I checked the 11.45 is a WR as far as I know with documented E9X M3's. If I had achieved a 1.81 60' as I did when NA, 10's would have been a strong possibility, but I agree that the trap does speak volumes, especially with 79 degree temps and a 1200' DA.

I have drag raced for 20 years and the only skill evolved is being able to keep your cool and to cut a good light (unless you have a manual transmission). The DCT at Drew's power level is just not capable of achieving an amazing 60' time (it's great for 60-130 runs though  ). I'm sure Drew would love to bolt some slicks on the back, do his burnout, and floor it on the last yellow but he does not want to be the second DCT transmission build up.
Great MPH Drew! |
Thanks bud, I understand what you are saying and you make a good point, but I think driving the DCT takes some skill too, but you're right no where near what a MT does. BTW what did you managed ET wise in your runs? I know the conditions were not good and you had to baby it off the line as I did.
