BMW puts up a fight

blue00gt · 03-29-2001, 07:13 PM

Haven't been to the track since I was stock, but at that point I was running low 14s with traction problems (burn 'em or bog, but I've learned that I can leave faster if I rev and slip the clutch). 14.2@98 was my best. Hoping to get into the 13s now with less weight up front, bigger tires in the back, and a better launch.
My suspension is almost done now, so hp mods will be next.
LincoConti87 - 6 speed was what the Car & Driver website said for the 540iA with manual.
