Sounds about right. For some real fun, find four 275/50r15's on some 15x8's
and switch on the 4wd with a fresh bottle of nitrous!
I've always wanted to try it...........

Subject: DML: Embarrissing but Fun --1/4 Mile w/a 4x4
|Well I finally brought my truck up to New England Dragway... Very
|disappointing times but I can see why a lot of you guys are addicted to
racing!
| Lot's of fun!
|
|Anyway, I got a big cap on the back, left all my tools in the truck and had
a
|30 pack of Coors I had just picked up (I'm having some now :-). My rig is
a
|'98 318 CC 4x4 Auto (3.55 Gears) with a bunch of wheelin' stuff attached
(like
|skid plates, tow hooks, hitch w/tow ring, etc., etc.). Obviously this was
just
|for fun!
|
|I guess I can't delay this any longer --here are the ugly details:
|
| 1st Run 2nd Run
|
|R/T 1.276 (Oops!) .836
|60' 2.628 2.584
|330 7.308 7.311
|1/8 11.232 11.265
|MPH 63.14 62.80
|1000 14.581 14.630
|1/4 17.449 (YEEF!) 17.505 (YEEF Again!)
|MPH 78.06 77.85
|
|It didn't help much that I was matched up against 13 second cars on both
run!
|Hell, I could barely see them down the end of the track! :( I was gonna'
try
|a couple more runs but it started getting really busy and I don't think my
ego
|could take much more abuse. ;-)
