Has anyone ever jumped in another persons car and ran it down the track?
Just curious how much of a drivers car the 211 is at the drag strip, Figuratively speaking could Bassn jump in someone else's car and run much better times?

Sorry Allan to through you out there, but your the fastest right now..


Just curious,

Yes it can be done and yes Bassn_07 has jumped in others cars and gotten the record for their car on more then one occasion. He ran my car the whole time at Famosa since his car went down the night prior and he ran it's best of 11.3.

He also jumped in Hammer Down's car and beat his record on the first try. Also jumped in my car and beat the record (until that run) and my car is an E63 not a 55. He also jumped in an SL55 and a couple of other cars at Sacramento and beat their records as well.....

He is starting a new business: $100 to drive your car.com

Haha I thought so! Can we get a group buy on Bassn_07 as our next mods!?

Hammer Down

Yep as Mo said I had just best my previous record and ran 11.761 then Alan jumped in and ran 11.701 and followed it up with a 11.726 so Alan is .035 to .06 quicker in my car than I

E55Bullet

Thats very cool, but i'd be pissed..ha!

Hammer Down

Nope not at all, in fact had I had switched to Alans rear tire setup my car would have gone 11.69 or better with stock power!

Haha...thanks guys but I believe our cars are very easy to drive. I also believe if I didn't weigh 205 lbs I would be quicker....lol.

I have ran my friend's E55 down the track (He was there running it and also watched me run his) and I would say it was pretty much the same concept as running mine. Good times.

I've done that before, and then they've come in for new tires on Monday afterwards too.

Haha...that's funny you say that. My very first time to Famoso with DR's I couldn't cut a 60' time to save my life. If I remember correctly my 60' times were in the mid 1.8's consistently. No matter what I did I just couldn't get a decent burnout which in turn equaled poor short times.

In short, Chiromikey hopped in my car and ran 11.49 @ 122 with a 1.69 60' time. My best time of the day was a low 11.6 with a low 1.8. Moral of the story, don't let people drive your car if you can't handle someone else owning your pb. I didn't handle it well at all. I was thankful but very disappointed in myself for letting that happen.

Ahmad and Mike have helped me tremendously in learning my car. As we know, each car is a bit different depending on the mods and it's up to the owner to figure out the sweet spot. Launching our cars is very easy and IMO it's all about the burnout and drag setup.

No doubt, We would have gone in the 11.65-11.69 range with my DR's. We actually had slight wheel hop on that run....

Having read this, can we add a new category to the hierarchy of performance mods?

Stock---> Modified---> Nitrous---> Touched by bassn


Impressive driving skills bassn!

Hey Chad, I'm in. If we get our dyno tunes and the "driven by Bassn" mod, my car will get a PB (11.7?) and you will get thrown out and have an "I GOT THROWN OUT OF ORP" badge.

+1... My next mod... Half driver delete. Lol

Curt, Road trip to Cali? I'll race ya there! Alan should fly around the country putting 55ks in the 10's

i think it happens alot. I've drove several of my friends cars and beat/crushed their best runs before and usually on the first try.These cars are pretty easy to figure out on launching them though
