If you are familiar with dragy then you may know all valid runs can be uploaded to the app and you can search different models to see real times and mods if the owner of the car chooses to share. I have all 1st place spots on the M850 except the 0-60. The most important time to most people. 🤦🏼‍♂️
Best on the street was a 2.97 because I have to come out at a low rpm to avoid spinning. So what I've been advised to do is take all negative camber out and this is supposed to help considerable. We'll soon see. I share in case any of you are in the same boat trying to hook harder. My car has done a 2.5 0-60 mph on the dragstrip so it's capable for sure. 60-130 on this run 6.93 is my best to date ran this week.
2019 M850i by the way.
This car has an E30 custom tune done in Chicago by Alex at Performance Eurowerks. They also installed VRSF catless downpipes. The tune has been revised several times and has added a fair amount of top end so I can't tell you whp figures but left the shop at 661. In comparison a new Gt500 makes 680whp and runs 155 in a half mile. I run 163 so taking a stab I'd say around 725 anyway.
