So I happened to be at SpeedWorld last night minding my own business with about 10 fellow LXer's and I went directly to the staging lanes after tech inspection and who's in front of me? A newer M5, Silver, 500hp. Wow, nice car. I'd LOVE to drive it on a road course. We lined up and I thought " I HAVE TO get a great launch" From a dead idle I launched full throttle when the third amber light came on. Great launch, no wheelspin, and no M5 in front of me. My .074 RT to his .254 RT My 1.955 60' to his 1.977 60' My 12.760 ET at 110.228 mph to his 12.914 ET at 110.888 mph Wow! My best 60', and my best ET right when I needed it. Holy Crap, I just beat an M5!!! He came up to me in the staging lanes a while later. "12.76 huh?" he said. "What have you done to it?" "Intake, exhaust, and some bolt on's" I replied. "I don't feel so bad, mines all stock" he said. Later, a fellow LXer let me past him to line up with the M5 again. We lined up and both lost traction from the start. My 13.169 @ 110.016 to his 17.689 @ 70.761. I won't gloat. The hell I won't!!! In the past week and a half; I broke into the 12's, I beat a Gallardo, I beat a couple of Vette's at the track, I beat an M5 at the track, and I have run a 12.85 with full interior, and a 12.75 without the seats. My car is runnin' STRONG! Thanks GS Motorsports for the mods! Thanks Diablo for the Predator! Thanks Scott at GSM for tuning MY SRT-8!
dan - nice kill........ i am sure the guy was cussing out loud on his way home...... either that or kept telling himself his i-drive and pretty interior are worth every penny of the 40+ K more he spent!!! hahahaha actually i love the m5, but it is nice to see the "little" guy win one!!!
