Many 335's on this forum would probably beat that..?
They had similar setup like this car for sale on Dupont Registry for $250k..It was white and SICK looking... One crazy car.. |

who the fuck uses the word dork. and that word doesn't even make sense in the context of the quote.
it's a long running joke. lots of tuned 335i owners got overzealous with their claims.

ii see what bhd is saying. in an actually race when the light turns green the clock starts ticking. not in this case though. if he was racing someone he would have to go right when the light went green. and he is right too, you do want a good reaction time. this guy was terrible out of the hole. if he can work on that iit would be quicker. this car makes it time by picking up speed . he has a high trap for the time he is running. its fast but the guy needs to have it setup better if he is going to the strip with this car.

Well, sort of. A car's ET is still completely independent of RT, no matter if you are running solo or going against another car. But, RT is very important in a head-to-head race, because that is likely to be the difference of winning and losing. I've seen drag races where the car with the faster ET lost because their RT sucked. It matters who crosses the line first, not who has the faster ET. That is, until we start talking about bracket racing. Then things get complicated again....

well rt isnt the sole thing to a good et, but it certainly helps! this particular car would have a better time if it worked on his 60' time. which from the looks of the video it is probably really low for the time he has

You could wait minutes at the line and could still pull a nice 60'. RT has NOTHING to do with ET. The lambo should be deep in the 8's, but 9's is fast enough. I would rather take the 9sec ET without having to worry about breaking drivetrain from a brutal launch.

in the world of racing rt has a lot to do with et.
now next point, i said if the guy wanted to improve is time he needed to work on his 60'. he had a horrible start for the time he is putting up. this car can put up better times. its got the motor to get it there. im assuming this car is idenpendent suspension, and if it is i would make it a straight axle for drag racing. don't know the intentions with this car. does anyone know if he is racing with it on the strip?

335i with V3 and JB3 stacked would beat it by 2 car lengths.

I see what people are trying to say though. He's kind of walking it off the line to be nice to the drivetrain. He sort of even bogged one of his 60 fts
