Default New best times in the old mans basically stock ride! 12.1's@115.88

With this weather we couldn't resist knocking the cobb webs off the M5 and pushing her further than ever before. All three runs we had were great! We also had a lot of support from the croud at HRP whom everytime we take the car out seem to love seeing the big 4 door lay out cars much more fit for the drag strip. In one week the new filters will be here then I'm going for that long sought after 11 second pass in a car that is basically stock.

BMW M5
Mods- removed charcoal filters, G Force built custom x pipe.
All runs on stock tires/rims/everything else.



RT...... .079
60'......1.832
330.....5.158
1/8.....7.853
mph....93.36
1000...10.182
1/4.....12.130
mph....115.88

All and all bad *** time good to see everyone out enjoying themselves!

Thanks for the comments guys.


I'm hoping that the car will pick up enough on the big end with the K&N's to sqeek it into the 11's. we'll just have to wait and see.

Well something is holding us back on the bigend. Look at the mph in the 1/8th on both passes is off by 2 mph, yet the 1/4 trap is close to the same. Once that gets worked out the car should see 117-118mph traps.

Could be shifting or tires spinning. Do you power shift? Did you feel the tires spin at all? Not power shifting in 4th cost me about 1.5 mph before on back to back runs which would show the diff you have in the eigth. Congrats BTW!!!
