He was so excited cause my 1/4 mile ET (10,85) was the fastest ET for any RWD car ever participated in Unlim 500+ competition (from 2009)... Anyway, that ET is not fantastic for you in US, but for our ugly roads that is awesome Unlim 500+ was initially 1mile race competition, afterwards 1km and then 1/2 mile, therefore 1/4 mile prepared tracks are not suitable for us, and the special places are needed to organize the competiton. And that special places always had the ugliest asphalt that you can imagine... |

I gotta say, your car was just ferocious in chasing down those 4-wheel drive cars that were leaping off the line. So, what are you most concerned about in the future? 1/4 mile? 1/2 mile? Trap speeds? Max top speed? All of the above? I'll be interested to hear about your future runs! Hopefully, you can find the perfect pavement! |

As for the results and records, I would say that this car could be 1 mile trap speed champion amongst all BMWs ever.....)))) But there is no competition to measure and document that result... Anyway, I would try to obtain every possible distance/time result using my Racelogic. Max top speed is the same as previously (338-339 per GPS) cause gear ratio is STOCK) And I am reaching that top speed soooo fast)))))) The most interesting and real is 1/2 mile trap speed record. But in US you are measuring this from 50 kmh and that is only the dream for me here: only standing 1/2 mile competition. And even that competition is not planned for this year. So, would try to use Racelogic and measure the speed. So, the only competition where I could take part is 1/4 mile drag race on professional surface, which should be organized 9-10 September. The goal is under 10,5sec and 142+ trap speed. Will see) |

Why not lower your launch rpms? I understand your making more power but what happened at 3500 rpm launch vs 5500? |

I've never been on prepared tracks like you have in US, and you never been on our competitions to understand what we both are talking to each over At 1st gear I am not launching the car either, I just pushing the pedal at half and shifting at 5,000-6,000 rpms to avoid significant wheel spin... Even with that technique, DSC is heavily working in MDM-mode at 1st-2nd gear shifting... However, I did 3runs where my 0-100 kmh were 3.5-3.6s, which I consider just perfect for this car bearing in mind all that problems above. On my new competition I would investigate the surface and try to start with DSC off, and if all is ok, I would think over LC I also looked thru Dragtimes.com yesterday and discovered interesting fact: my 1/8 time and trap are so poor in compare to bmw's with much less HPs and to my 1/4 trap... For example, some SC E9x M3 had 107-108 trap at 1/8 and 131-133 trap at 1/4, while my car had 105 at 1/4 and 140 at 1/4. This is riduculos!!! I was just staying at 1st 1/8 mile and then made additional 35 mph at 2nd 1/8 mile, while other cars made 23-24 mph... Yep, my power is opened at the middle of 4th gear only and the car begins running like a blast Interesting to analyze all this in that manner: feeling myself as Bolt calculating the number of steps to be done for WR |

thanks for coming through with the pics. that is the first polished head i've seen of the s65! i can't help but wonder what gains the port/polish alone would yield.

What is the reason to heavily modify RWD car and go for 1/8, where the car is deemed to go for 1 mile??? I am not worrying about 1/8 and 1/4 times either. The goal is speed at 1/4 mark and time with speed at 1/2 mark. You could come to Russian tracks and would see the changes in your 1/8 records |

However, neither of those "projections-calculations" could propose that with 105 trap at 1/8 the car would end up with 140 trap at 1/4... I hope that the upcoming competition on the prepared track would result in more or less logical combinations of 1/8 and 1/4 time/trap speeds.... |

And 1/8 miles is for real pilots one mistake and you are done! 1/2 mile is good but it's all about the car WHP nothing about pilots skills! |

For you, just to understand, 1/8 mile is 99% of track quality and 1% of skills. Attached is the result of yesterday's race event on 1/4 mile at fully prepared track. I missed that event((((( You could see M4's result at 1/8 mile: 6,76s@109mph... That's amazing!!! However, this particular car with the same "pilot" had 7,58s@103mph 2 weeks ago on that shitty track where I trapped 140mph at 1/4 and 105 at 1/8... That is just obvious to all that powerful RWD car needs good glue and not good "pilot" to perform at 1/8 mark. Pilots are in F1 and in the air, and we are daily drivers only |
