While I can't speak for anyone else, I'll just speak for myself.
I do have a decent 1/4 mile time (actually a little over 150+ slips) with my FBO+meth setup, I haven't gone lately for a few different reason: #1 - I'm busy ... its 2.5 hrs to get there and I waste a whole evening instead of spending time with the kids, which I really enjoy. #2 - I'm afraid I'm going to break something and I don't feel like doing that at this point. I will do it in the future, when I pick up another backup car. I sold my other 335 and so I'm just left with one car now - I have to be able to take the kids to school. I think a lot of people underestimate that the drag race launch is very hard on the car, I don't feel like adding a half-shafts, valve body upgrades, torque converters or an aftermarket 6AT. On the street with street tires, I have no issue or concerns, the tires will break traction far earlier than anything else breaking. As for my speed-ego, I know i'm faster than most things out there. There is always someone faster and I'm ok with that. Regarding the 6AT shifting challenges, I'm not proud to say I've done a handful of 4-5 shift runs in a marginally safe manner and did not experience any shifting issues prior to the event. So I thought things would run smoothly. The 6AT shifting problems only manifested itself at the airstrip event. Even on the drive home, I was able to do a 2-3-4-5 shifts under WOT with no issues. That's not to say we are close the limit on the 6AT. Who knows really. As far as videos, I gave them to FFTEC ... they will do whatever they want with them. I'm too busy to do anything with them.

At the end of the day, the single turbo itself held up, and no one had any engine issues. On the street, it's fvcking fast. On a private track, it was still fvcking fast up to 150 mph...something most people never see. And so we got to race them and get logs to bring back home for the next event. I won't say I'm sorry this isn't living up to the "hype" because I didn't go home upset.

EDIT: Maybe being a pussy isn't the word. Maybe I'm just wise enough to not do that. I get scared shitless of getting popped doing a 3rd gear pull to 100 mph while logging. Last edited by JStang; 11-15-2012 at 09:54 AM.. |

As for the road that leads to PBIR (the Bee Line), I wouldn't play around on that one. Since it is so close to the track, the cops like to set up speed traps on it quite often. You're better off waiting until you get to I-95 or the Turnpike. |

Anyway, I felt like the summer heat was killing me. The IAT was showing 160*+ on the top end of the track. I would love to see what the car can do in the cooler weather and with the newer software on an E85 blend. Even still, I was pretty happy with my time, considering the weather and my lack of mods. |

If i start around 100F now i end around 110 and no more pesky 4th gear timing drops. I love when i get my ass handed to me at the track, i respect the winner regardless of type of car/tune and i strive to go faster the next track day

terrys 135 ran side by side with the e63 amg that seemed to do just as good as the ST cars did or better... honestly i expected the single turbo 6MT cars to shit on some cars and people to shut their mouths but imo there is more of an invitation to be sceptical after this event... like shiv in particular yet i have heard no mention of him running anything like he did the first time, which imo gave the single turbo kit some good press...
i am by no means a nutswinger on either side, just my observation... the e63 even offered to run anyone that wanted a good fill in car for comparison to terrys car, did anyone take him up on that? the tuned e63?
