2014 335i 12.9 @ 108mph
I just got back from the track and am a little disappointed in my times. I forgot my computer to log the runs, but the car felt great and pulled hard. I am running on Map 2, intake and 40% E85. Also, tires were Continental DWS(All-seasons). My 60 ft was 1.9 on that run. Oh, and the X5 next to me was my wife. :-) The fastest time I got in her car was a 14.6. Her first time racing so she was a bit nervous.

My wife runs a consistent 13 flat at 105mph with her 335GT with just stage one - and it is a heavier car - I would think you should be around 12.6 with your car at about 108- need to get the 60ft time down - every 1/10 off 60ft is a average of 2/10 final ET - if you are manual stage deep - if you are auto stage shallow - makes a difference - pre-load turbo to 2000 - if auto use manual shift mode and shift at 5800rpm - her best run using paddle shiftters was 12.88 but the times are not as consistent and she races street eliminator where RT and consistency are the key.
- my friends X3 3.5 runs right at 14.0 |

I forgot to add it is nice to see another 1/4 racer on here - it is a lot of fun - on a side note I drive a 2013 Mustang GT/CS fbo - low 12 sec car (maybe high 11 this year) and if we do handicap tree the wife beats me three out of 4 times - my excuse is I am 6 speed and she is auto with 4 wheel drive but bottom line she is better off the line than I am - that hurt to say!!!

remember not the MPH that counts it is the ET - seen cars do 112 MPH but over 13 sec - 1/4 mile racing is about getting there in a hurry - not how fast you are going when you arrive

Yes, ET wins races on a drag strip, but it's close to meaningless on a street. Where your acceleration is almost never done from a standstill. On a prepped surface. Which is perfectly flat. On a road which is safe to come to a stop on yet has no cross-traffic. With properly warmed tires. |

you are correct but the man was talking about 1/4 drag racing - not on the street and that is what I responded to - My Mustang will do over 160 but where the hell am I going to do that - Drag Racing is a sport where RT is also key - Everyone to their own - My wife's 335 Gt is a rocket from 60 to 120 but still cannot touch the Mustang - Again he was talking about drag racing not street racing which the last time I heard was not legal - so bottom line the 108 means crap in drag racing the subject of the thread!!!!!
