Sorry, you said "no purpose" vs. "useless".

11 second BMW X1? Yep. Congratulations to *********** member paradoxical3 who managed to break into the 11's with his modified BMW X1. He had Pure Turbo modify the OEM N55 turbocharger and the result is a 11.930 @ 116.11 in the 1/4 mile. Yes, that is quicker and faster than a BMW X5M with its 560 horsepower S63 5.5 liter twin turbo V8. A modified X1 can easily run with the big boys and shows how important power to weight is.
This 11.930 @ 116.11 pass improves quite a bit on @paradoxical3's bolt on performance which produced a 12.137 @ 111.20 in the 1/4 mile. The car clearly gained quite a bit of horsepower with the turbo upgrade as evidenced by the trap speed and there is also definitely more in it as the tuning evolves.

(edit, just google the partial link). His car is in the 11's at 116 or 117...with very respectable laptimes on roadcourses as well.
Maybe he's a bit under 500, but it's closer to 500 than it is to 400.
You're really struggling to keep up with the conversation here...
