Still out there trying to prove that the M3 is a fast car even in N/A 6MT form. After a 6 month or so hiatus, I finally got back to Laguna Seca and beat my previous record time at this track. Will probably be able to break into the 1:30's once I run more camber (only -2.8 in the front at the moment), and I definitely have a few seconds left to shave with a bit more confidence in some of the corners.
One strange thing I noticed is my top speed dropped from around 122-124mph through turn 1 back in April to 116-118 mph this time. Slower top speed, but faster lap time. Obviously going faster through the corners, but I wonder if my car is not running in top shape. E92 M3 6 Speed Manual Track/course: Laguna Seca Best Lap Time: 1:40.98 Brakes: Brembo 380 / Endless Pads Tires: Hankook TD's 265/35/18 295/30/18 Suspension: Ohlin RT, Vorschlag Camber Plates, RD Sport Sways Other mods: Akra Evo, ESS Tune, M3 GTS Aero, Half Cage, Recaro Profi's The 1:40 happened on lap 4.

i noticed that in my e90. i went from 140 front straight speed which felt sketchy down to a 134ish and my lap times still kept improving. i did this on purpose though as i used maitenance throttle sooner rather than flat out.

Overall my goal was sub 1:50 for the first time on the track which I accomplished (I just couldn't go all out like I did at Thunderhill though because of the walls..). Last edited by USCTrojanMan29; 09-16-2013 at 08:10 PM.. |

It was similar at Thunderhill, my first session fast lap was 2:21. By the second session of the 2nd day I was running 2:08-2:11 almost every lap that I wasn't held up. Unlike you, my fastest laps come in the first session after lunch. You ever gonna come down to Buttonwillow and/or Chuckwalla one of these days? |

If you go to Buttonwillow, go in the late fall/winter. We'll just be starting to see a break in the nasty temperatures in the next few weeks. |

There are a handful of NorCal people who we see at Buttonwillow very regularly. Heck, they come down more often than many SoCal people.

Yea. My 2 kids are older, and the wife stays plenty busy over the weekends with them & their activities. Heck, sometimes she probably doesn't even know that I'm at a track, lulz.
