Its foolish to even worry about using true street radials anyhow. This car will hook up fine on drag radials... no power adjustments needed.


+1, just look at the trap time he pulled. Its better to see the cars potiental from the trap times.

111 mph is fast. My friend doing 12.8's in a fully bolt on gto traps at high 110 mph, and thats at the crappy ass new fontana track.

Remember driving a car is 75% the driver and 25% the car. You can have the fastest car in the world but, if you cant drive its just as good as a show car.

Just look at the car in the drag times site under shivs http://www.dragtimes.com/BMW--335i-Drag-Racing.html

Do you really think +7 mph will really only produce a .2 tenths of a sec faster... Come on give me a break.
