e30 m60b40 1/4 mile times!!

[knuklehead92]

LETS SEE SOME TIMES? I'm curious how they do.

Please tell what mods you have

Also say if you running 5spd, 6spd, what gearing example

M60b40 w/ 5spd 3.73 lsd and weight of the car would be cool! :)

1/4 mile slip if possible

Just so you know, the ratios in the 5 speed and 6 speed transmissions are identical, except for the over driven 6th in the 6 speed @ .83:1, so that won't have any bearing on the results. Final drive obviously will have an impact, as well as weight and any engine mods...

[knuklehead92]

phsssss doesnt count

[knuklehead92]

wow im surprised! no one has taken their e30 m60 to the track?

[Jean]

E30 is not very good at 1/4 unless you specifically set one up as a drag car. Just the way it is.

[The Humjet]

Still doesn't mean you cant run it down the strip.
I'm not really a fan of these motors. So someones gotta impress me.

[iamsam]

you may not be terribly impressed, is what people are saying. An E30 with 300hp not set up for drag will probably just spin a lot on launch.

[RobertK]

Need some serious rubber, possibly ///M coupe axles, and very stiff rear suspension to do a couple decent launches.

I would guess, if setup up correctly it should be able to run low 12's high 11's?

[Jean]

I was thinking maybe soft rear and a diff/and tires made for drag is needed instead of stiff rear? For example - I could not get out of the hole at the local drag strip with m30b35, but I only had my kumho/hoosier autocross tires and 675 rear rates...it didn't work very well at all...low 14s to mid 14s iirc.
