Well me and my buddy Ben went to Baytown to run the 1/4 mile. His 329457346598436 pound truck runs right with my car! Best Run of the night was a 14.7 at 98mph. Best 60’ was 2.25. I’m putting in a 3.91 LSD over my 3.38 LSD so we will see if that helps at all. I did beat an 08 mustang GT coupe and a 09 mustang GT drop top. That really surprised me! The white dodge, Ben’s truck ran a best of 14.8 at 95mph. ![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing017.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing017.jpg) ![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing001.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing001.jpg) ![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing005.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing005.jpg) ![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing011.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing011.jpg) ![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing023.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing023.jpg) My buddy Ben’s Cummins ![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing032.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing032.jpg) Hot Chick!! :io: ![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing037.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/Racing037.jpg) [![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260770.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260770.jpg)](http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/?action=view¤t=P4260770.flv) [![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260771.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260771.jpg)](http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/?action=view¤t=P4260771.flv) [![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260772.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260772.jpg)](http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/?action=view¤t=P4260772.flv) [![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260774.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260774.jpg)](http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/?action=view¤t=P4260774.flv) [![http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260775.jpg](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/th_P4260775.jpg)](http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk320/ultradriver10000/Racing/?action=view¤t=P4260775.flv) ---

btw, it would appear you have a lot of room in your 60 ft time to gain on the truck. 😉 ---

Off the line I launch at about 3K. I don’t spin at all, and I can’t launch at a higher rpm, so I hope this is where the 3.91s will help! 🙂 ---

You can get those 60’ times down. Are our cars really that slow off the line? I feel like a 98mph trap should yield slightly faster times for that car. Not too shabby, though. :tup: ---

There is just no torque low end. Our cars are really set up to be more of a highway car. I’d like to get the M into a low 14 or maybe a 13 if I’m lucky. I’ve never run the vette at the track yet. Mauh I don’t want to get kicked out haha. Should be slow though. I took that picture of the fatty walking by the Mexican’s because I knew it was going to be some funny shit. ---

keep in mind, it’s an auto m3…the manual e36’s should pull 14 flats with a good driver…(not saying that’s fast though) I LOVE my e36 m3 though! ---
