flexing nuts over what car you drive on a bike messageboard is something else.

As previously noted drag racing legend Big Daddy Don Garlits personal record is 4.72 seconds for the 1/4 mile in a Top Fuel dragster.
Not exactly a vehicle to take the family to church in.

2006 E55 doing the QUARTER-MILE in four seconds? No way in hell, unless of course you're up above 650 HP and the car is gutted in its entirety. I'm doubtful that this is the case. The E55 is not exactly a lightweight, and being a German sedan, it's more suited for long high-speed trips. If you've got timeslips and photos that show this thing is that fast and is a purpose built drag car.
This, too.
This, too.

True, I figured gutted as in a fair amount of the car being replaced with aluminum and basically no longer drivable on the street. I agree with you, though.

I am so glad I started this thread. My take away is a wood cargo carrier is not very desirable, and a typo is not forgivable. I am prepared to throw out all my tools, and my car is now for sale on Craigslist. I pledge to never touch wood again.

On a good day being the key phrase here. Most numbers I've seen (through quick research) are closer to mid-12's consistently.

...and the length of their erect male appendages in inches instead of centimeters.

Isn't this a bike forum? How did a post about wooden cargo carriers devolve into car talk (but not the funny show Car Talk)?

I'm not certain, but I did partake -- I also enjoy cars.

This is how the thread descended into madness the first time around.
