1.74 60' with the new tires

I went to the track Friday night and made my best pass so far. I put on the Toyo RA1's and ran 12.17 at 114mph. My 60' was pretty good with a 1.74. This is in a 100% stock E55 with all electronics on. I let the car do everything, esp and full auto. Not bad for stock!

WOW...12.17.....that is just awesome.

Can you give us a little insight into your launch technique DJ.....you power brake at all?

I launch it around 1300-1400rpm's. That's about all I can get my car up to until it starts to push through the lights. The car was a little on the warm side so I know I can get the et's down even more. I had the car pretty cool but, the lines were so long, by the time I got onto the track the temp was above normal. I also want to try it with out ESP to see if I can get the rpm's up more on the launch. What do you guys think?

You could try it...but honestly, 12.17 is about the max you can get outta stock. Have not heard of a guy getting a better time with ESP off yet...mostly it starts to get squirrely.

I think someone else was able to bang a 12 flat or like 11.9something, but it's always with ESP on......if you get her more cool....you could get 12 flat I think.

Keep us updated.
