Nice run for this car. I wonder if the Dinan 3.91 gear made all the difference? Also, the trap speed seems a little high for a stock car (at least when compared to previous M5 runs) Anyways, nice Job!!

another slip by this person lists the dinan ecu as well, maybe he left that part out?

Fikse, I could have sworn that the original page I linked to only showed the 3.91 diff. Now I see he's added, Dinan Software, Charcoal Filter Removed and Drag Radials. Not so stock after all.

JR, yeah......likely the same car.

Not sure what the confusion is, but the run was by Multiowner. He is a member of M5Board and was at the rental I organized on Friday. The run(s) and the video were made at that event:

Here is a post with his times from the day:
https://mbworld.org/forums/showpost....8&postcount=19

I did not see all of his runs, but I don't doubt for a second that he ran them. As to why the video doesn't match up with the time, I don't think that is a big deal. I think if you look at my page for my 11.775 Atco run, you'll see a video of my 11.892 run at Englishtown. The video that was probably on his page is a video of another run that was made that same day at Atco. This may have been it:

It is legit.

Sorry for all the confussion. Thanks for the confirmation Lorenzo. I will post the correct time slip tonight. As for the video, the 11 second run was not recorded. I will correct the video with their webmaster.
The whole truth and nothing but the truth!!!
