Alright. So again, baselining is important to me with modding so I wanted to go out to Island Dragway last night to get some practice in and see where my trap speeds are. I wasn't going to go because it rained that afternoon, but I said **** it, stripped the car out, and went. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Stripped down the car and got a helmet from ACM:



Results?



Best ET: 12.868@110.97
Best Trap: 13.009@112.54

Remember kids, this is on street tires too. I'm planning on getting to decent wide compounds and going from there. If I start cutting sub-2.0 second 60', the car will really start to put down some good times.



There are funny lessons to be learned here:
1. GT500s will still lose to a BMW hatchback if they have a ****ty driver mod
2. A supercharged F-250 will run deep 12s.
3. Island Dragway doesn't know much about BMWs
4. My subframe bushings are dying already
5. This car is really tough to launch with 4.10s
6. Drag racing is a ton of fun regardless of ETs

Stay tuned for some upgrades over the next few weeks!
