And to the BMW vs MB thing, I am totally up for this. There's been a little too much BMW 335 **** talking lately and while the M guys aren't bad there's still that "run them over 100mph" belief. Now we have some solid 55k cars to put out there and I too will be doing the full bolt-on deal this winter so next year it's going to be time to throw down.

Who's with me?

Sounds like a blast. We had a few C6 Z06's at our Atco rental today. My friend ran a 10.95 in his with drag radials.

Maybe that guy could of made the Vette do better without a bust and more weight..wonder what a stock C6 ZO6 would do against a stock E55 with same weight...

Dave or Wayne,

Regarding Dave's car (which is very impressive) - how do the times compare with and without the drag radials?

Thanks again Wayne - great day!

I think three passes were made, and it was worth 2 tenths.

More practice should net 11.4, IMO. I wish we could have made some DR passes in the morning with the negative DA !!!

DR's should put you square in the 11's.

The pump was from Ebay, $80 or so shipped. Install was about 1.5 hours of labor.


Some pulley/HE upgrade is definitely going in this winter. Not sure from whom yet.

Well since the I/C pump and H/E are suppose to prevent heat soak I feel my power will be there thru entire rev range and giving me a good 12s sec runs...I'm almost desperate to run my car again.
