1/4 mile run

[89coupe]

The air was really good this morning, decided to test the M5 in the 1/4 mile.

Bone stock in the 10’s
0-60 in 3 sec

I’m shocked your tires were happy in these temps. Mine were already squirrelly.

Brand new 4S’s. First try it spun, 2nd run the tires were warm and it hooked.

That's pretty good. You must have taken your mask off for less weight to get into the 10s.

Those are impressive numbers from a stock vehicle. AWD does wonders for sure. What app/device are you using to get the times?

It takes video as well and super imposes the times over the video. I have video of the run as well.

Thanks. Post the video if possible, would love to see it.

[JRSC00LUDE]

That sounds fun.

[vengie]

That's quick!

Thought I was actually going to see you run 1/4 mile.

Disappointed.

That’s super impressive for an unmodded car! I bet just a tune could get it close to or into the 9s!

Stage II tune with intake and down pipes bumps the HP to 850hp. Guys are running low 10’s @ 135mph

[T-Dubbs]

Wow, thats VERY impressive for a stock 4 door.

[dirtsniffer]

Fuck ya. That's awesome

[brucebanner]

That's a fast family sled

[Darkane]

Awesome.

Here is what a stage II tune is capable of.

Christmas should come early for you then! Do ittttt

[heavyD]

It's crazy how fast cars are these days. I remember when a stock 12 second 1/4 mile time was considered very impressive.

[SkiBum5.0]

That’s moving. Will get politely asked to leave most tracks with that tune etc unless you’re caged

This has been a topic before. Speed is common and uninteresting nowadays. You can order a sedan off the internet that goes this fast.

[Sky]

That's fast in Calgary! Dragy is awesome. Good to check improvement after upgrades. You might shave off a few tenths if it was sea level. It sucks we're at such high altitude and can't compete with others on the leaderboard as most are at or near sea level.

I wouldn't say it's uninteresting. The new norm today is simply a lot faster than it used to be which should be expected with improvements in technology. Cars in general are considerably better today than they have ever been. A lot of people that fancy themselves as purists on the internet whine and complain about weight of today's cars but I drove plenty of light cars in the 90's and even the best of them were very mediocre handling cars by today's standards and almost all of them were rattle trap shitboxes. You are just getting old.

No.
It's a step-change like nothing ever seen before. It's not something that "should be expected with improvements in technology". We now have cars that accelerate faster than SS motorcycles. Some of those cars even have 4 doors and trunks.

It’s so sad that the fastest 4 door sedan is an electric car. I cringe the day when combustion engines are no longer available.

EV has been hugely disruptive to this whole conversation, and it makes me sad also.

[ExtraSlow]

Which car is fastest for the Dad Bod crew? asking for Buster.

[rage2]

I’m just glad that for me these days straight line speed is like the 3rd or 4th factor in determining what I enjoy. Otherwise I’d be in a Tesla.

I would think a Track Hawk is most aligned with All-Dressed Chips, so I'd say #TrackHawk

I had a conversation with a late 50’s guy driving a new RS6, said he bought it so he could haul lumber.
:rofl:

Now that's smart thinking. Dad Bod approved.

Truth. Let me break this down:

1. Looks/emotion
2. feel/handling
3. drivetrain/cylinders
4. Interior quality
5. straight line speed

1-4 are kinda tied. 5 is a distant 5th

I have a 240V outlet in my garage and actually kicked the tires on a Model 3 performance but no CarPlay or Satellite radio (I'm an NFL junkie and need my NFL radio) is kind of a deal breaker for me at present time. Straight line speed isn't special enough to settle for a car that's missing basic automobile creature comforts.

[rage2]

My priority these days.

1. feel/handling
2. Interior quality
3/4. Looks/emotion
3/4. straight line speed
5. drivetrain/cylinders

We can’t be friends.

Listen Buster, he said friends off. No need to make this difficult.

Bigger mystery is how people can be interested in what happens with a NFL team in Tennessee or Carolina.

Accurate, if you use it, and there's content you like, it's worthwhile.
Spotify and podcasts work for me, but, I don't need the live sports.

Sheesh, i pay $65 a year.

I get anywhere from 3 months to 6 months to a year free every time I switch my car so for me I've always had it for free. lol.

Just keep buying new vehicles at the end of the free trial and get free satellite radio for life. Why didn't I think of that ha ha ha.

[vengie]

You guys pay for your satellite radio?
