Thats cool and all mike, but the M3 & M5 were both out and each car got a new best.

The M3 went 13.5 @ 103, and the M5 went 12.3 @ 115. So it was a pretty good night out all and all.

The M3 has more in it for sure I think it will trap 106 and go bottem 13s. Now it is time to start modding it.

Impressive numbers by all. I'm most suprised by the M5 running a 12.3 @ 115 - that's movin' for that tank.

Yeah I was pretty happy with the performance of the car. Basically the car ran a 12.7 bone stock, and after one trip to G-Force it went 12.3. Thats a half a second drop in time. Great job guys, and congrats to Frank and Chris C!!



60'---1.929
330'--5.355
1/8---8.106
mph--91.79
1000'-10.472
1/4---12.446
mph--114.46


60'---1.906
330'--5.316
1/8---8.044
mph--92.42
1000'-10.3XX
1/4---12.344
mph--115.29

Thats with just a G-Force custom X pipe on stock 19" tires.

Cheers,
_Zac

Mike shouldn't you be working.... Yes it was great last night. Either the track was bad last night or my rear susp. needs some loosening cause i was spinning on every pass having to acctually "drive" the car. Impressive on both of those bmw's such a nice car to cruise around in and then go to the track and run et's like that is good stuff.
