The M5 isnt a monster, but it certainly is no slouch. Beating one is certainly enough to brag about. Great story, I was worried that this story wasnt going to have a happy ending. :woo:

 :naughty: The BMZ went from a 35 mph roll pretty good and the Cuda with its weight would have been at the disadvantage at that point. It wasn't a good place to get going real fast anyway.

I also have 3:23s in my Cuda and I thought this would be a major disadvantage during launch. It does spin easily in first and I can sit there and smoke em through all three gears. I thought with 3:23s that I wouldn't be able spin em in first or am I thinking of the ratios wrong? It does launch pretty well at a roll.

With stout torque, 3.23 gears will still trash any stock or near-stock sized tires with little effort.  I can't even guess as to how those F.A.S.T. cars can get into the 10's and launch on bias-py tires
