2nd gear pull on 3 beeps up to about 120 - pulled about 5 cars! Pretty pumped right now

5 cars???/ that seems like a lot. You sure they were pushing the E90? Just curious.

Oh I'm sure..we raced 2 times, 1st time I shifted from 2nd to 3rd and then right to 4th by accident. 2nd time I didn't mess up and I walked him. After the race they pulled up next to me and gave a nod and a thumbs up. He had one passenger.

My car has rpi scoops and I'm not sure what else. Is it normal to bark the tires shifting into 3rd?

Holy ****!!!

I thought i've chirped 4th before but I figured its not possible going about 105. That's sweet!

He actually got wheel spin entering 4th, and a chirp into 5th.

I think part of the fact that happened is that the surface he's on must not have the best traction. A 130mph chirp is just...nuts.

Does anyone know cruising rpms @ 60mph in 7th? Maybe this car has a dinan 3.91

Revo · 4th November 2009, 05:14

I know at 80mph it's about 2850RPM.

I'm just about at 3000rpm doing 80mph in 7th.. Normal?
