Why is actual 1/4 mile time so important if so much of it depends on driver skill? The trap speed here is more indicative of the power and speed of the car than how great of a launch the driver was able to get. 60' @ 2.06 is obviously not the best launch but what's impressive here is the trap speed. Why would I bother writing about something average (60' time) on the homepage.

that is 1 SLOW m3 nice numbers drew, i talked to sammy, he said he talked to you right after & you couldn't get traction...which is what i assumed when i heard your trap speed but still not a bad day on the 1/4 mile

I keep seeing people state that 1/4 mile time is skill. That's just not the case with this type of car and a DCT transmission.
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!

Very nice Drew. That's a really high trap speed! I wonder the trap would be if you dipped in the 10's? Congrats either way

There is enough trap there for a 10 second run! Just need to get at least a 1.8 60', cooler temps, would help as well. That GT-R I ran even with is a ten second car, but he can launch all day long with probably a 1.6s 60'.

Please go to the drag strip and post some time slips, I'd love to see what a boosted m3 and the bottle would do. Josh

So don't be so up tight...tightie. My comment was not meant to be negative. I think Drew's ET is really good knowing what he has to work with, because like I've already said it's hard to get a good 60' time at that power level with the DCT transmisson. I still like the MPH better though.

I just think he deserves more credit.. He's done some good work.. But please, get to a drag strip.. You seem like a cool guy from what you post! That 60-130 time is fast! I'd love to see what you put down.

it is very hard to get a good E.T. with the SC and DCT combo. I wasnt pushing nearly as much power as drew and couldnt get a decent E.T. at all. Had other drivers try as well. Either bogs down or spins the drags. And seems that cars that trap 130+ can make it into the 10's with proper grip

My first sports car was a 1993 Camaro, first year of the LT1 engine. I went 10.50 @ 130mph, so anybody that has the power to run 125 or faster can run 10s if they can get a good 60' time.

You mention getting a good light, but I was under the impression that most of these open test and tune days at the local drag strips don't factor in r/t in the ET. I thought the timing started once the wheels broke the beam, not on the green.

I wondered how long it would take for a 135/335 owner to get in here and post their classic torque argument. Let me know when you know what a flat torque curve and a linear power band are. As to my statement about the 1/4 mile time not being mentioned on the front page. I don't care about MPH at the drag strip. Drag races aren't won on MPH. MPH is nice to brag about and show off all your uber horsepower, but 1/4 mile times and winning races are what matters. They show that your whole car is working including your suspension/tires to maximize all that power off the line. Get back out there and set some good 60 foot times and get in the 10s. Also your reaction time is never factored into your elapsed time at the drag strip. It only matters when doing bracket or heads up racing.
