4.8is and the Drag Strip

[chusteveb]

This last Sunday I went to the local drag strip to support a friend who was making a few passes down the 1/4 mile drag strip in efforts to further dial in his hot-rod for the season. When I showed up there were less than 25 cars running that day so I paid the extra $5, had my X5 teched-in and got in the staging lanes. Of course I was there to support my friend so I only made one pass but it was still fun.

I'm not sure what the specs are so I don't know if I did good or not but... my 2004 4.8IS turned out a 14.82 @ 93.37MPH in the 1/4, 9.57 @ 73.85MPH in the 1/8, and the 60ft was a 2.15.

My X5 is stock and I made the pass with the DSC off and in the Sport Manual Mode.

Now I know that most probably haven't ran their X5 at the 1/4 drag strip but if you are nuts like me and have, I'd be curious to compare times. Especially those with performance mods. Yeah I'll admit, that single pass has me thinking about perormance mods.
