Hi, i expect a standard 323i would cover the 1/4 mile in 15.5-16.0 seconds
modified cars eople have gone much quicker. 12 seconds is quite common for turbo cars, and 14's for m30 power

Propan's S50 power should go low 12.
But guys, fun is not a straight line !

Agree, what's that with 1/4 mile burning (any 3 year old can do that) and not being able to take a decent turn? That's where the fun is!
Each to his own I guess

In October this year i will be entering my e21 in the 0-1000m sprints, in Temora, Australia
In 1000m top speed is very high, i will likely be hitting the redline in 5th gear, so anywhere between 225 and 250kph !
i expect to do at least 210kph
theoretical maximum speed in my e21 would be 257kph, but that is 7900rpm in 5th gear !!!! crazy.
