Love the color, awesome build!

IcEWoLF · 12-28-2023, 10:49 AM

Anything is possible if you have a big enough wallet. Absolutely bonkers what they did with that M3…

Now please let me hit that mega billion lotto…

brava09 · 12-28-2023, 10:58 AM

170 mph trap speed for 1/4 mile? Did I get that right?

jmxtrem · 12-28-2023, 11:23 AM

1000

jmxtrem · 12-28-2023, 11:34 AM

What a Machine!!!

cfm56d7b · 12-28-2023, 01:47 PM

M3 with horsepower in quad digits. Wow. True testament to “just because we can …”

TractionControlDelete · 12-28-2023, 02:31 PM

Explicitly built for drag/roll racing but seems to hold its own on the track. Looks like a lot of fun

Did they say what tires they’re using? Maybe I missed it

This video m3 runs 9.8. Maybe 170 in half mile?
And 0 to 60 of 2.6s. . Must have a ton of wheel slipping. The 750 hp topNL does it in 2.4... too much hp for the tire setup for sure.

I need this! Lol
Too bad Tom isnt on Bootmod3 ....

thespeedy2series · 12-28-2023, 03:22 PM

I was thinking that was the half mile trap since other cars in the upper 9 quarter mile are usually trapping at ~140mph.

vrooooom · 12-28-2023, 09:34 PM

Xdrive right? The front wheel was still spinning crazy! Dang!

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 12-29-2023, 12:20 AM

Wish I could get a ride in this awesome machine. An X-drive M3 with that much power must be bonkers. Even on a semi damp track like in this video.

Cant be. A 1941HP Rimac runs 8.5 sec in the 1/4 mile at only 167 mph.

V series · 12-29-2023, 10:50 AM

Someone told me that Et times trap speed (in mph) should be close to 1400

WOW!! 1400 mph trap speed on the 1/4 mile.

Show us the timing slip. That's about 1270 mph faster than the NHRA record for Top Fuel Dragsters and Runny cars. I'll bet you forgot the decimal point. Did you mean 140.0 mph?

V series · 12-29-2023, 11:57 AM

No, I mean if you run a 10 second time, your trap speed would be around 140 mph.

So Et times trap is 10 x 140 = 1400

If someone is trapping 170 moh, then ET would be 1400 divided by 170 = 8.2 sec

G MONEY · 12-29-2023, 01:52 PM

Our GTR when it was being drag raced was doing 8.60’s at a little over 1300 wheel. All depends on your set up. 18” rims /drag radials/ proper suspension all come into play. On the 20” R888’s not getting info the 8’s. F drag racing anyway 🤣. Roll racing is the Tits. Way easier on the car anyway. Activate rolling launch please

floridaorange · 12-29-2023, 07:35 PM

Damn!

Bowser330 · 12-31-2023, 02:51 PM
