For quite some time I have been curious to see how my car performs, and seeing that Dragy is pretty accurate, I figured why not get one! I just did my first metric, 60-130 mph in 9.53 seconds! I was in 3rd gear and started at 50 mph. I am extremely happy with that! I was hoping to break into the 9's but even 10's would not have been bad. If I can get that shift into 5th better, I'll probably knock that time down a bit. The car definitely pulls like a beast on the back end. Upgrading to the Rotrex C38-92 was well worth it. I'll have to find a more open area to try a 1/4 mile run. I don't expect the greatest time due to traction, hopefully low 12's, but would love to see how close I could trap to 120.
When I see what some pretty fast cars have done on their 60-130 times, I'm even a bit surprised at how well I did. I have seen YouTube vids of the C7 Stingray Vettes doing around 10.6's seconds, Mustang GT's around 11.5's, Mustang GT 350 high 10's to low 11's, even the C8 Vette doing 10.01...all of these in stock form of course. I find it amazing I would be able to pull a C8, maybe in a head to head it's different? The numbers at least give me a chance!
Anyone know what a stock US E36 M3 did in the 60-130? I don't see too many numbers for any E36 M3's, whether stock, NA modded, turbo, or supercharged. I would be curious to see how I compare to a 400-450 whp turbo, or to other supercharged E36's.

Looks like your running a really short rear end needing that 4-5 shift will hurt your time.
This was my run last year... stock turbo M52 (around 520-540whp guesstimate).

Just got back into a turbo E36 hoping to get mid 6’s ..my last 2 cars C7 Z06 A8 with intake and throttle body was doing 6.9-7.00, my c6 z06 485whp was doing 8.0ish….in Michigan the weathers way to cold now and snow on the ground
Stock s52 if I recall in my last car was around 19-20 seconds.
Current form it’s around 5.8.

I would love to replace my E36 with a C6 someday...either the ZR1 or ZO6. I think they hit a sweet spot with the C6, even though the interior lagged a bit the car had great power to weight. I love that 7.0L revving to 7000 rpm, it just sounds amazing, and bolt-ons with tune can get you over 500 whp (more if you go crazy on the cam)...just gotta upgrade the heads/valves. But the ZR1 is just a beat, geared perfectly, and you can get big numbers with very little extras.
I'm guessing that when you floor it, instead of your car catching up to cars ahead the whole scenery in front of you just starts coming at you!
