We also did very well against the competition. I ran neck and neck with an ESS 525 (non-intercooled) supercharged e92 M3 down the entire track and it was a dead tie. Drew's SRT4 ran it as well and beat it by a few feet and Drew also beat a supercharged M6. Shiv's car? A new standard had been set.
Big thanks to Ryan and the rest of the Shift-S3ctor team for putting on such an amazing event!

It was great meeting you there, as well as the guys from Giac and FFTEC, etc. Can't believe Giac is getting a 100hp gain on the S4 with just tune and intake. Got to watch out for those S4s. Although FBO/Meth 335i should take them still.
I think you are pretty accurate with your observations. Terry's car was the fastest stock turbo N54. I rode up in the white C63. That thing is very fast. I was actually having doubts that Terry would beat it. But kind of reflects the Famoso results. Both cars are fast, with Terry's probably edging it out in the end. I think Dave also did well with his full weight JB4/Meth 335i coupe.
Also definitely need clarify some of the other misinformation:
Terry DID NOT trailer his car there...lol. His car is perfectly civilized and streetable less the passenger seats..but on the other hand, still ran with the restrictive catback.
I thought the ZR1 edged out the 458, unless they ran a couple times.
Was there more than one SRT10? Didn't see them race, but if the 458 beat a 1000hp Heffner TT Viper, the Viper did not make a clean run obviously, lol.
Terry was NOT hitting 140mph at the cones, he was going over 150mph through the cones.
There were 458s at both of the private track rentals I went to, they are quick off the line, but by the end of the qtr mile, at Famoso they were trapping in the 126-127mph range. So probably 2 mph faster than my best 125.4mph effort at Famoso in Terry's car and 2mph slower than my fastest 129.x mph effort in my sedan. Being NA they are probably hurt even more by the elevation at Trona.
Also, Stage 2 Drew...I think I saw you beat the white Z28, correct? Gotta love beating a loud V8 musclecar. Do you know what mods he had? Your results against Terry's car was expected. Ran a 11.2 at Famoso the other weekend, with traps as high as 125.4mph. Awesome to see your car run!
