:eek 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... :D

"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.
