ESP ON/OFF?
Suspension setting?
I don't remember who posted, but someone once wrote they got the best launch when the suspension was in comfort mode because that allowed the tires to grip the best.

No manual shifting,gradual,quick and consistently increasing pressure on the gas in order to minimize full ESP intervention.
100 octane SUNOCO gas.
BTW,the ESP in this car is the best I've ever seen in any car as far as intervention goes.
The HP is a little short,I expected higher (399 at wheels),the torque is unbelievable(486 lb at wheels).
Bob Brady ar Renntech has the copy of the Dyno.

I think my buddy raced with you in his 2001 E55. It is black. I was in the car. Pretty fast 2001. We were going south on 41 and then west on 60. We should set up another run for fun. His car runs 12.60 at the dragstrip and is pretty even with my 2003.

Absent,
It has a low boost supercharger. It shocked me too when I could not shake him off my ***. I bet it would be really strong if the transmission did not shift so deadly slow. You should have seen the face of a guy we ran in a 360. The 360 gunned it and started to wave bye bye to us. He was shocked when he passed him.

I think it is a HPS supercharger. It was installed by Willow Automotive in Lake Bluff.

I was impressed by your car. The mods really have made it faster because my 2003 is no faster than my buddys car. We need to set up another run between your car and his.
