Good pass g-man:

DA = -135.4

Adjusted for weather and altitude to 500':
1/4 ET--13.51
1/4 TV--104.386
0-60--5.08

I hope the 335 guy shows. Where did they all go so suddenly?

Thanks Zman.I don't know where all the 335 guys went.I have not heard one peep since I posted my challenge.I checked that thread in the e90 forum and it is totally dead.I am not sure I could beat a 335 but I am willing to give it a go.I don't think he is going to show.I don't know why not,he is the one that posted his location and ask for any takers.

I got a response from a Socal guy with a 335. If he confirms that he wants to go then I'll definitely set something up for this coming weekend. The weekend past was a wash. No 545/550s were available. The 335 would surely inject new enthusiasm to the runs.

Hey Vega you need to get one of the 545/550 step guys to run him from a dead stop.The 335 will have an advantage from a roll.The turbo's will be spooled up and he will be in his best power band from a roll.

Point taken. Will be sure that we will be launching and not rolling.

On a side note, I spoke with hollywoodtrash last night and he edged out a Cadillac CTS-V. We looked up the specs on the car: 3500 lbs curb weight, 400 hp/395 ft-lb torque. Zero to 60 in 5.0 flat. Based on these numbers the CTS-V should've beaten hollywoodtrash's 550. I chalked it up to a driver's race which hollywood was the better driver. Hollywoodtrash, if you're reading this will you already post the run?
