I just want to do a comparison with others who had done a 1/4 mile drag with an auto 318. So post your time! thanks!
my 318i ran a 17.4s on steelies, which seems very slow. |  |  | | 05-13-2007, 03:06 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Los Alamos, NM Posts: 344 |
I ran a 16.6. I had it in manual mode, put it in neutral, revved while I shifted it to first, and when the tranny finally swapped gears, I had almost pulled a wheelie. pretty good for a little 4 cyl. | | | | | 05-13-2007, 03:46 AM | #3 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Canada Posts: 20 |
^ so you actually did a neutral drop? Thats pretty bad on the tranny.
I didn't use the manual mode cause of the delay when you shift, so it's hard to time it perfectly to the redline. | | | | | 05-13-2007, 03:48 AM | #4 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Canada Posts: 20 |
I assume your car is stock? How much does a Ti weigh? You're almost a second faster than me.
Anyone else? | | | | | 05-13-2007, 03:50 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 1,595 |
The first time I ran I had my system in the trunk which was really heavy and a passenger and ran 19.2 (very sad). I ran again a few weeks later by myself and no system in the trunk ran 17.4 on auto mode and havent been since then due to the embarrasment of slowness. | | | | | 05-13-2007, 03:53 AM | #6 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Canada Posts: 20 |

I never ran an 1/4 mile, but I have run 1/8 mile strip. I ran a 10.9 as my best time. __________________

Does it help your car rev faster or does it just simply raise the rev limiter? | | | | | 05-13-2007, 07:09 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 |

hmm, yea, my car is stock. HuGo, I'll try and get a pic w/ the front wheels trying to leave the ground. the neutral start hits the tranny hard, but it makes you go faster. I'll be putting a new tranny in someday, so... | | | | | |
