JMHO but it seems that those M7 owners that are going to run their cars at a drag strip usually modify their cars. Maybe that's why we don't see them in there. Just a guess on my part.

There is also a section for modified M7 times! Maybe those who ran them aren’t forum members? Those that are members here haven’t had the chance to get some good runs in? I watched a YouTuber video with ZR1 on ZR1 crime, M7 vs A8. Maybe the driver of the M7 wasn’t up to snuff but that A8 ZR1 moved on out on the M7 like it was down on power.

Do you let off on your runs? Just checking why your mph is always low.
Just FYI
Car is still bone stock.
I was able to get a 129.98 mph speed last Friday night at Zmax in Concord,NC. Unfortunately we got rained out after just 2 passes. Temp was around 88 or 89 degrees.
I was able to improve on my PB this past Friday 7-26-19 in even worse conditions. This was the temp at the beginning of the day. Best i can guess DA must have been around 4000 with the temps and humidity what they were then.
Even trying to cool down between rounds was difficult because of how they work their staging lanes at Zmax.
My best 4 slips are here... Car #6053.
I don’t visit the site daily but if I’m slacking just PM me. Really hoping to see some manuals on this list before a C8 fast list starts. Lol
Copy that. Maybe after it's been a little while we will see some. I would expect them to be modified though. Just my opinion. That factory shifter leaves a lot to be desired.
New PB by just a little, but it was in even worse conditions than my last update. The temp was in the mid 90's pretty much the entire time I was there.
Any way my best MPH didn't occur on the same run as my best ET was.
Here were the 4 runs I made. Again car is 100% stock and only thing I did was get the car a little cooler after each run. Strangely enough my best pass was my 1st. I can't remember in the 40+ years of doing this that that has ever happened.
car # 6053 DA had to be 4000+ It was very hot and humid I think this was my last time getting to run at Zmax this year. Their last opening will be on Aug 23rd and I don't expect to be able to make that one. Any further PB's will have to come at the Atlanta Dragway if done this year.
I was happy to go a tad over 130MPH for my best MPH.=130.03 mph
BTW my 16 Z06 should be back in the hunt in just a few weeks. Looking to go down in the 9's pretty far then. If the rest of the car will take it. I've upgraded everything but the trans at this point, so we will see what happens. Still on 19" drag radials, so that may be the next limiter.

Beech Bend at LS fest 95 degree heat at 2:00PM engine heat soaked from moving in staging lanes. Bone stock stock tires w/25psi low wing car w/ 643 miles on it. In sport in drive. Not track and sport 1 or 2.
10.952@ 128.13
Had another pass earlier in the am at 11.076@127.22 with a much better !/8 mile MPH but slower 60 ft and overall ET and MPH. This was on 30psi stock tires and in track mode sport 1.... and I know the car numbers are different but thats because the guy that put them on the car was sloppy and the tower couldn't read it right. car number was 3149
