Hi - this was fully auto...because the LC does not work in pure manual mode - if you were to try shifting manually, you would have to leave it in S+, shift the paddle and then quickly shift into 2nd gear...As I am not competing with this car - and don't want a rev limiter - I am good to let the car do its thing lol.

For the first time in my life I see too much tech and HP in cars for normal people. Lol. Insane
I am fortunate to have other cars I race - a 1000 HP manual road car and a drags/1/2 mile specific ~2000 HP car. So although this car is quite quick and fast - it is a very comfortable power level for me.

Lol - and the Mad Scientist doesn't have to tear it back down.

Just add a tune and be deep into the low 10's at 135 MPH+.

Obviously to afford an m5 you have to be playing with serious money.....and therefore may have serious other toys.

on another note don't care anymore about the m5, please post pics and details about the other 2000hp cars you drive!!!

Congrats on the great numbers!

If you're planning another TMP rental in the spring and looking for other M cars to join please let me know. I just picked up my M2 and would like to see how deep in the 12s I can get it on a good DA day stock.

I've been racing since 1994 across various tracks/cars in Canada/US and would love to join you guys if you have room for another M car.

Cheers,
Chris

Lol - I was sponsored - so it wasn't as bad as it could have been...

This run is one from high boost - lifting the head was a big issue back in 2015 - so as sponsored as I was - I wasn't THAT sponsored, so I didn't want to risk it.

The car is being rebuilt - fresh from scratch - to see what it can really do now that solutions to that issue have been solved.

Stay tuned!

That said - I broke my ET record for my car - 10.93 - with a low 1.7 60’ - I averaged 1.8+.

MPH however - 129.54.

I brought another car of mine and MPH was actually lower/average for that car - so this is correct.

Can’t wait for prep and good air lol!

More to come.
Thad great!
