he said he beat the mustang by 30 ft.. We've seen supercharged 4.6is at both sac raceway and sears (Dinan S3 and ESS) run only high 13's. high 13's well.. you get the idea.. slooooow.

"I had one occasion where I ran a cobra... shut down at about 145... beat him by about 30 feet overall."
It seems SANguru questions the veracity of being able to beat a Cobra by 3 car lengths. Warbucks.. I can appreciate your Need For Speed but I don't think the way to introduce yourself to a forum is to dis it. It's true this board is more geared to pimping ones X rather than what 1/4 mile times you can click off. But in all deference the X5, even the 4.6is, is more about stylin and profilelin than true performance. |

as far as I know, none of the Dinan S3 X5's are getting any where close to 500 hp unless they got resized pullies and software of which dinan will have a fit if they find out. They should all be running around 6lbs of boost. Stock E39 M5's run low 13's so no. remember, drivetrain loss is much higher with AWD and the slushbox even with software saps quite a bit of power not to mention in the qtr mile, there is an extra shift due to the gearing so even if he swapped diffs he will still not be into the 12's... so no.. sloooow.. 390hp cobras are running low 13's.

not to mention the aerodynamic advantage of anything above 120 the big ass frontal area of the X5 and the amount of lift generated at those speeds vs a sleeker lower mustang. so I'm calling BS..

Wake-up call...
Here is a wake-up call for wanna-be racers. From my experience, the typical driver tries to leave the stoplight in a race under full power, with the tires spinning in a cloud of smoke. ON THE OTHER HAND, at full power the X5 AWD will turn the tires over maybe once before all the power is solidly put to the pavement (because of the vanos system and the fact that the SC really only works above 3000RPM). In some 40 years of racing, I can only remember maybe a total of three times when the opposition didn't break the tires loose and waste HP (on the street...not at the track).
While we have to be realistic in understanding that a 4,800 pound vehicle with a 500 HP motor has its limitations... you still must consider that the average street racer has little understanding of how a race is won. ps. the BMW guys...just like the mustang guys...have figured out how to change the pulleys on the Superchargers/ use and improve the intercooling to get things cooking.
