C63-tuned vs 440 stroker motor jeep srt-8
Today in Mexico ran this guy with a 440 stroker motor Srt-8 520whp runs low 11s. From a 2nd gear roll to way up top it was a close run. But I started to pull way up. Funny thing is I told him I have a tune now his response was "you need alot more then that". The run was just epic.

The guy with the Jeep does not know how to race his vehicle, I owned a 2008 SRT 8 Jeep for two years before I got my E63, the Jeep destroys almost everything OFF THE LINE, but when you get up to speed the weight slows it down. I would not race him from a stand still, the AWD on the Jeep makes it really easy to launch with almost no loss of traction. It's a great stoplight to stoplight racer.
I only have a tune bro. A simple tweak.

It was funny when after the run he couldnt take me with his heavily modded Jeep-he yelled at me to go from a 1st gear roll. With his MT tires vs my A/S tires

Plus I had the Short tires with 18lbs of air and a 4.20 gear ratio, I would top out at 156. We raced from 40 so he wouldnt spin at least 4-5 times and I was in front every time. I couldnt take video he should have he had a better view from in back!!

I will probably get smoked by both cars, but I'm curious as to how I'll do.
135i 6MT, Procede @ 17.5 psi, intake, catless downpipes, intercooler, meth -- stock midpipes/exhaust.
Only reason I don't want to run Jon is because 1 car length win turns into two, a two car length loss is "close" and I won't ever hear the end of his **** from him if I lose. Anyways, he claims he beat a '10 E63 by 5 car lengths with the tune. perhaps the owner of this E63 would like to chime in (Albert).

The way I remember it was at 40 we took off and I was ahead by like 3 feet and than on my rear quarter pretty much the whole way. I never said I ran away just that you never were in front and when I let off (car ahead) you were not about to pass me. Dont worry, I will video it.

On a side note, why do the two time slips above, show two different car numbers?

+1 that's what I was wondering about the car # as well, also it takes an act of god to run the same ET twice, and the same 60ft, and the same 1/8, and the same 1000'... hmm.
what Jon fails to realize because he doesn't understand or he's too dense to realize is gearing plays a huge role in any sort of rolling start run. The Jeep runs out of steam up top due to the gearing, but it will absolutely destroy a C63 off the line.
I ran an Evo X once, he would cut off at 120 mph each and every time because his 5th gear is so tall and start from a 20 roll, out of my car's powerband and strengths. Heck, 135/335's only roll from a 60 sometimes because they will light their tires up in 2nd gear. I have Dunlop Z1 SS's, so I can handle a 40 roll no problem, but for a lot of cars, 40's a weak starting point. From a dig or any roll starting in 1st gear, I need my drag radials or it's not happening.
This is why the quarter mile and 60-130 is so prevalent in regards to measuring acceleration performance. Too many variables with gearing to make a fair assessment.

Its hard to tell when your in front trying not to hit cars in front of you.
The way I remember it was at 40 we took off and I was ahead by like 3 feet and than on my rear quarter pretty much the whole way. I never said I ran away just that you never were in front and when I let off (car ahead) you were not about to pass me. Dont worry, I will video it.
