Stock M4 on NT05R's, 11.944 in the quarter mile at 7402' DA

[forza1976]

Bandimere Speedway opening day yesterday. Finally was able to get my bone stock M4 into the 11 second group. Just barely

Had 3 sub 12 second runs:

11.970@115.20
11.986@116.87
11.944@114.92

Only change from my previous runs were the Nitto NT05R's in the rear. 305/35/19's running 25psi.

The DA yesterday during my best run was 7402'. Track elevation 5800'.

Here is the video from the 11.986 run:

And my slips (Car 54):

Those are VERY impressive times at THAT DA* Way to go brotha

[M3SQRD]

Awesome, and very consistent, times

[4everkidd]

Impressive for Denver... the altitude really does kill us

Thanks guys. Was so much fun yesterday. They weather was ideal and had a good group out there.

Nice.. I'm guessing DCT right? Doesn't look like 6MT can touch that time

[forza1976]

You bet. DCT

Looks like you were on stock 19" wheels. Any issue having the 305/35 on? I thought 305/30 would be closer to the stock diameter.

Yup, stock 19's. No issues with these tires (DCT, rubbing, etc.), just a little mushy in the turns but that is to be expected.

Yes a 305/30 would have been a bit more ideal, but two things; neither Mickey Thompson nor Nitto make their respective drag radials in that profile on a 19" wheel. 27.2" is really only about a 3% increase in height which IMO is negligible. The extra sidewall probably doesn't hurt on a drag radial.

For stock power, I'm very satisfied with the Nitto purchase over the MT's because they hooked every run at 3500RPM launch and the MT's were $200 more. Highly recommend, I really only bought them to attempt to break 12 seconds at my at my altitude.
