B C Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Things are getting hot in Fox Valley. You have $1300 to spend on a car/truck/van from Craigslist in Wisconsin for a 1/4 mile drag race. You cannot spend any money modifying it or remove weight. Your life depends on it. Post what you would bring to the race. Bonus points for quoting the original 1/4 mile times Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Supposedly 14.3 for this pile which I heavily doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Maxima and 540i seem to be solid options thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 What a ridiculous scenario! Nobody in Fox Valley is placing their life on a drag race. We all know that roll racing is the race of choice in that area! Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 MT says this brilliant piece of German engineering will run a 14.1. unfortunately it comes with the stock wheels but the lack of parasitic drain due to the car not holding a charge has got to take it to sub 14 sec.
