1/4 mile Query

[clubfx2]

I am going head to head with my brother in law.

Will a 200hp 325i with 3.64 lsd beat a 170hp sport with 3.73lsd on a quater mile???

[Andy335Touring]

Should do as you have a fair bit more power there, you should notice it pulling better when you get into third gear.

[fuzzy]

30 bhp isnt that much of a difference and your brother in law has the slightly better ratio's for acceleration .could go either way i think. when is the head to head?

[IainB]

I would say that it would be won or lost on the start line, a good start (reading the lights, leaving just before you see the green) will give you the advantage

July 1st at Santa Pod. I will update once done....

is that is your car in the sig pic i would lose the 17"alpina reps and put some 15"on, will help no end

My 325 which alegedly had 192 bhp did 15.9 on the 1/4 on a red hot day, I was gutted with the times

[clubfx2]

E30

I intend to put 15's on for the strip, I loose to much acceleration with my current setup, running a 225/45/17 on rear...

[E30BeemerLad]

here is one of the fateful runs, agains an E36 328i with mods

15.9 is a bit of a kick in the bollocks mate but considering the e30 has the aerodynamics of a house im not sure i could get that much better myself ive been practicing my take offs for my trip to the strip this summer

mate..thats not great, when i got a 17.4 in my old standard 320i... Embarrassingly the corsa i was racing managed a 15.7

FUZZY...will you be at crail doin your 1/4 mile maybe we could do a run

[1an]

fuzzy you going pod in september?

[clubfx2]

I am really hoping for near 15'ish

[reggid]

what sort of trap speed did those people who have run their car get? This should correlate well with hp unlike ET which will chnage hugely depending on the launch

[buster]

what does ET mean ?

[oakey]

not sure exactly what ET stands for but it is the time it takes you to cross the finish line. Your 1/4 mile time basically

extra terrestrial?

[reggid]

elapsed time

[buster]

thanks

[gra325i]

haven,t run the sport yet but the old 320 went like this...
RT 0.556---60 foot 2.462---TV 77.3 mph---ET 17.424
HTH

[E30BeemerLad]

my terminal speed on the 15.9 run was 85mph

Can't find my time slips now, so can't remember what my 60ft times were etc

the modded 328i I raced against did a best of 14.7 I think

here's another crap vid taken by the missus


Oh and a proper muscle burnout

[gra325i]

[curryp]

[Kos]
