Mustang GT rear wheel comes off while drag racing BMW M5 – Video

 

The M5 is powered by BMW’s 4.4 liter twin turbo V8 which makes 560 horsepower. This car is modded with a tune, exhaust and drag radials. (This car does not have the optional competition package with 575 hp). Power is transmitted to the wheels via a 7 speed DCT Transmission. Launch Control was not used for consistency. The M5 is racing a Modded Mustang and luckily gets the jump and avoids a crash becasue the Mustang loses its wheel on the launch and enters the M5’s lane.

What does a BMW M5 with tune run in the 1/4 mile?

As and example the BMS Stage1 holds the BMW M5 1/4 mile drag racing record at 11.0@128mph and the 60mph-130mph record at 7.1s. The BMW tune installs and removes quickly, provides reliable 30-50whp/40-60wtq gains on pump fuels, and up to 80whp/100wtq gains on racing fuels with more heavily modified vehicles.
