E39 M5 runs 11.9@121 in the 1/4 - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Today I had the pleasure to drive Ray's(kelster) for the second time at the track, we had a track rental at Atco raceway with some fellow members and some guys from MB world
ATCO Meet rescheduled to 12/14

traction was bad on the left side but that was the only one you can run on street tires, the right side was for drag radials and full slicks only

I had a run of 12.0@120
3 runs of 11.9@ 119-121 on street tires with the stock 3:15 diff

Ray has the timeslips and will post them soon, videos will follow,

I'm still pissed that I couldn't get out of work in time.

Who had the best time of the day?

M Cinco, look at the photos above your post, the M5 looks like a Dinan S3. See the plaque?

Great Job!! So that is twice at the track without any check engine lights, overheating or breakage?

So what do you think would be a realistic 1/4 mile time and trap speed if you had drag radials and they let you run on the faster side and the 3.45 gears?

weather was good 47f, but like I said the left side(street tire) was very traction limited, AJ with the m6 had the same problems
