So, i went out to the drag racing track and put in a couple runs. This was my first time, so I really had no idea on the car set-up. I just wanted to know what kind of times others put out with a similer car. Mine is a stock ETA with no weight removed, but with an almost empty tank (87 octane, if it matters). My best run was 17.460 in the 1/4 with the reaction time of .730, and the best reaction time that I got all night was .093 but then i missed the shift in to second and messed-up the run.

I love it, an eta owner who can dump on himself. Priceless. :DOriginally posted by James CrivelloneComment

On the drag strip I think I could have done better if had taken a couple PSI out of the back tires, because I was spinning through most of first gear. I also had a chance to race against a 325i E36 auto, with Dinan "software". He ended up blowing the doors off of me.Comment

I did it - at around 2300 ft - and got 17.15 sec as my fastest.
I don't care for drag racing, so I'll spend the money at an autocross instead.
Oh, forgot to mention I had a Jim C chip too. Fastest reaction was .218 I think.- Sean HayesComment
