New best 1/4 mile and race against 2017 ZCP M3(vids)
I have been trying to sneak my car into the 11's and this latest trip is the closest I have come. Previous best ET was a 12.19 and previous best mph was 117.78. I added an RR Racing tune/intake combo and the added power provided the slip below, which is my best in both ET and mph. The crazy thing is my previous bests were achieved in negative DA weather(-250ish) while my new best was achieved at +217ft DA! If I could get a negative DA day I should easily have that 11sec pass.
Mods - RR Racing intake/tune, PPE headers, and Joe Z exhaust(no cats)
Now to the race with the M3. My brother just took delivery of his competition package 2017 M3 DCT. He went to the strip with me, but was running worse times and mph due to traction issues. We both knew his car was faster as it is lighter by ~160lb and makes more power(many dyno almost 440whp!). We decided to do a roll race after the strip and the result is below. It looks a little worse than it is due to the mounting location of my GoPro, but it is no doubt much faster. End result 40-130ish was 2.5 car lengths. Don't catch one of these cars on the highway or you're in trouble.
Easier said than done . The 1.89 60' I pulled above is my best in the F. I don't even think DR's would help as there simply isn't enough stall for me to launch with additional force. I have zero traction issues as it is.
BMW makes me laugh with their quote un quote stock crank HP from factory is at what? 425 @ the crank for the M3? And it's putting down 440whp!
That's like 500ish @ the crank.......... why doesn't BMW just quote what these motors actually make from factory instead of ridiculously underrating them?

Its obvious BMW wants to over exceed the consumers expectations.

Well to be fair they rate the competition package at 450hp I believe. Correct though, their crank numbers are laughably conservative. His last M3(2015 and not the Comp package) make 424whp SAE corrected lol.
