Congrats!!!

Respect from the “fastest E9x M3 ever”

Fantastic results for non-built engine!!! Hope, the engine would last more than expected

Some points here:

1) Last year I did 2 runs only on my final setup and made 10,25@140.24 and 10,29@140,65. So, your info with 10,25@139 is incorrect

2) I made those numbers in +36C (ie, 97F) and on very old and tired Hoosier’s DOT, cause we did not plan to visit any track comp last year and I did not buy new set of tires. Fuel used was 95 (US spec) and full-full weight car (3,800 lbs)...

3) Current year was not used to show full potential of the car being lightly prepared for the track: stripped sallon, other rear suspension (now I have Intrax competition suspension which is not intended to be used for drag racing purposes), narrow front tyres (now I have 275 Nitto’s) and race fuel. Even with those modifications I could easily go to 1,55 on 60ft (instead of 1,75 in record run) thus digging into 9,7-9,8s on 402m. But in July my little daughter decided to come into the world and.... no chances for competitions))))))))

Anyway, I am excited that strong competitor appeared! Let’s fight!
