However, taking the same car, and pushing it to it's limits as a track car sounds perfectly reasonable, and expected.
Or this, a track car that you can still put a license plate on and drive it to work on monday and yet is still competitive? Isn't that taking the E9X M3 to its intended performance limit?
I don't find a 140 mph trap speed impressive unless it's a high 9 or low 10 second car.
If you wanna drag race these cars, and do something impressive, do a standing mile or half mile event and be competitive.
Sure why not take a 1.5L civic and dump a stupid amount of money in it just to run a semi fast 1/4 mile time. It's the same thing, literally.
You don't need to defend the OP, since It's not my intention to shit on his parade. I just don't understand why people drag race this platform. Shit the F80 is a much better candidate for that. Simply sharing my observation and opinion.
Drag Strip Results:
60-Ft: 1.914 seconds <------ why none of this is impressive to me.
330-Ft: 4.942 seconds
1/8-Mile: 7.274 @ 105.51 MPH
1000-Ft: 9.227 seconds:
1/4-Mile: 10.858 @ 140.11 MPH
1/2-Mile: 16.306 @ 166.68 MPH <---- This is pretty bad ass, imagine how much faster this would be if he could manage a 1.4.......

You missed the point that his car is not setup for it AT ALL except for the slicks. |
This is all stupid. The purpose of drag racing isn't who has the fastest trap speed, it's who runs the lowest ET. sweet he ran 140 mph but a stock 5.0 on slicks would win that race.
