Turbo m3 vs mustang gt, saleen, 335i, videos

[m3boost3]

I went to the drag strip this past Thursday night along with a couple of friends... It was a good night for the turbo m3. Didn't lose a single race. My best time was 7.8 at 96 mph in the 1/8. So enjoy the videos..

It was my first race of the night and I did my worst time of 8.5

Here are my two friends trying to see who faster 335i vs gt. Later on in the night the 335i beat the gt. It ran 9.04 to 9.1 of the gt.. Both are stock..So it's a driver race.

Here's me racing my friends 335i. I ran a 7.9 on that one.

I'm still downloading more videos, so more to come

On this run, I missed second and over rev'd ever gear afterwards and still ran an 8.5

This regal was running 7.8-7.9 all night long but his trap was 92 mph..I knew I had to beat on take off in order to beat him since I have a higher trap speed.. It's hard to see but I did beat him by 1 car and I was beginning to really pull on him at the finish...

wait~ technically the car's not supposed to move until the green light comes on, right? There seemed to be some uneven jumps on a few of those vids.

The timing system will disqualify any vehicle that leaves before the green light. The vehicle will experience a delay from the moment of launch to when the suspension reacts and the car moves forward far enough to break the timing lights, so it might appear a car has left before the green when it actually has not.

It's called experience... when dragging, if you see the green light, your reaction is late... You leave as soon as you see the last amber light turn on...by time you react and start moving, the green will light up...

ok, well I guess the real question I wanted to ask is if all the runs in the clips were legitimate runs. Just seemed like the jump some of the cars got on the others was significant enough to have mattered.

what kind of power are you making...I'm guessing over 550rwhp? I'm also guessing that you were running slicks? Good runs, perhaps not in your league, but good runs breaking into the 7s anyways!

Understood. In darg racing the driver's reaction time to the lights is part of the race. You snooze, you lose.
