8.22ET gnarley.
Amazing what you can do with a motor that'll turn 12 gazillion RPM's.
I remember when the rotary cars first came out the SCCA race officials had no clue how to measure displacement in them...they'd walked all over all the boing-boing motored cars.

That's cool... looks like the need to spend a little more money on the suspension... I bet they could get into the 7's if that thing would travel in a straight line...

Look at KC's post above...said the car will do 6's. Thats closing in on Funnycar ET's.
Listen and watch you can see he lets off in the middle once, maybe a slow shift :stupid

"set up to go 6's"... which I take to mean that it's got all the safety equipment to go that fast, not that it will...

Watch a pro-stock car... they go in the low 6 second range and barely wiggle going down the track. Those guys get that Bimmer to do that and it'll be wicked fast.
