I'm home now, so just to fill those of you in who could perhaps analyse my results any better....

My full times/speeds for the best run were as follows:

Reaction --- + .9888 :oops:
60 ft -------- 2.3752
330 ft ------ 6.2642
1/8 ET ----- 9.4202
1/8 MPH --- 77.99
1000' ET --- 12.0230
1/4 ET ----- 14.3312
1/4 MPH --- 100.89

On a RWYB a reaction time doesn't matter, I know a few people who regularly sit there for longer than that and only go when they are settled.

As commented above, I think your time is OK. BMW Evos rarely produce 321BHP from my experience and it has to haul 1540kgs without you and the toot you were carrying

Not bad for a factory car, so relax and enjoy the car for the things that it does well (which clearly isn't drag race :lol:

)

I'd better stick to using it for tarting around on sunny days in then.

Best I do as eddy says and get my pulsar back on the road 8)

13.8 is my best time but i have to be honest and say that I dont enjoy 1/4 miles ... all that waiting around for 5 gear changes.

I don't get into 5th when I do 1/4 mile, I'm a split second away from hitting the limiter though.
