Default 11 sec 4 door

Here is my first 11 second pass in the BMW, followed by me totaling it on the next pass.

First pass was a test pass, easing it out and short shifting it. 2nd run was on a rail, 4 tenths quicker to 60'. Top radiator hose split and blew off which spun the car out when the rears got wet.

Car is a total loss. It didn't look that bad until I cut the hood off, unibody is bent back to the firewall. I looked down moments before and was a bit past 120.
