F80 M3 record 1/4 mile 11.18 @ 125mph

[///mfizzle]

My friend dennis got 11.184 @ 125 last night at BMP here in Florida, which is the fastest 1/4 mile time I can find for these cars.

His mod list is:

Gintani downpipes
Jb4
e85 mix
Mickey thompson ET streets on ltw5 18" rear wheels

The car is DCT and he wasnt using launch control, because every time he did it seemed to cut his power up top.

Nice. Wish we could see some good times from a 6MT too.

Some good, expected and consistent times with the addition of drag tires.

The F8x chassis and S55 is a exceptionally great performance and economic platform. Basically a 10-11sec car with just a tune but can haul the family around...and confidently handles corners. I'm impressed.

Damn, an 11.1... with a 1.9 60'... this is 10s with a better launch withiut even trying... do I also see a near 128 trap on one sheet?

[Mik3ymomo]

Looks like he got a 1.7 but something happened on that run that slowed it up.

Man these DCT cars are laying down some smack!

SID did 127mph trap here in Florida. Lower 60' usually yields lower MPH though.

Bradenton is also Florida lol.

He had pretty good conditions too. The DA at that track last night during those times he ran was -587.

Can you educate the drag racing layman here? What is a DA of -587?

Thanks

Does these drag stats give an approx. 0-60mph time or is it possible to extrapolate? I'm keen to see if anyone is achieving/beating the official rating 0-100km/h=0-62mph=4.1s with 0-60mph=3.9.

Got it. It is the equivalent altitude in feet of a standard atmosphere.

Thank

How did you come up with that number

It seems highly unlikely, assuming you meant 0-60mph.

I'm guessing, new z06 does 2.95 with a 127 trap. He did 125 and was running drag radials. Seems about right.

Actually maybe not that low

My guess is 3.67. ET/trap speed/1.46*60.

0-62 guess: 3.79

That's awesome Brings back memories This is very track I learnt how to drag race 14 years ago Used to run by dsm here (see signature) back in 2001. Used to live in Bradenton at the time. Supra's, Dsm's, Mitsu GTO VR4 Nissan 300ZX TT's were the shit at the time.

Or how about NOPI Nationals when it was held there? High school days for me.

Don't know if linking to another forum is allowed but yes there is a formula to calculate 0-60 based off the time slip data points.

Just need a 6mt car on tires with a good driver. Wont be as fast but should still be low 11s.
