I could not hit the mag numbers @ all due to traction issues. Seemed like i wasn't the only one though. Other's @ the strip were also running low numbers for their cars.

get a different setup for the track

My take - e36 M3-8yrs. Bullet proof engine! h20 issues -ez fix but comparetively pricey. Rear bushings not so ez. Became an expensive annoyance which I had to deal w every few months. Ultimately sold it. High resale value. Bought an e46 m3 which was stolen too quick for me to deal w issues.
