I think this also depends on the capabilities of the car. Most of the tighter 2nd gear corners (40-55mph) in TX are off camber on the outisde since the pavement is crowned. So it pays off to stay tighter towards the inside. As you widen the line you are fighting the off camber outer edge. Heavier, poorer handling cars can't even consider taking a tight line. I'm kind of at a crossroads here. When I have an occasional instructor in the car, they are pushing me towards the "normal" line. But I'm catching people in certain places by turning on from the middle, early apex with heavy trail braking. Its hard to be consistent but I think its cutting my lap times. I need to start running data so I can confirm or deny this type of stuff.

Do you have any future mods planned to get even closer to the magic 1:30 mark? Maybe some Hoosiers or bigger sway bars or a bunch more power? |

Tom, I have the exact same wheels as yours. Did you make any front fender mods to stuff the 295s up front? I am currently running 275 RA1s (and they seem a bit stretched exposing the wheel lip). Would like to try 285s, 295 square would be lovely. I do run -2.5 deg camber up front (tucking in the wheel) on stock suspension. Based on the setup and running the same wheels as you, what would be the limit of front tire in this case? Heard 275s were the bees knees and the limit up front. Good looking car! Cheers, Lutfy |

A 10mm spacer was used up front, with a ton of camber. Wheels are +25 offset.

I do not have any big mods planned. Well nothing that I think would so dramatically lower my lap times ahah. Hoping to do a tune soon to tie in all my bolt ons and coilovers next year! Thanks James! When are we tracking together?! |

Car: E92 M3 6MT
Track: ACS (Auto Club Speedway) Best Lap Time: 1:52.9 Brakes: stock with PF01 pads front / Stoptech street pads rear Suspension: stock with GC plates and Eibach springs Tires (Size & Model): 275 R-S3 Other Mods: MS intake, MS pullies, MS track pipes Video: I almost hit 160 (speedo) before slowing down for the turn! My E90 would only hit 15x, perhaps 155 on its best day. I remember shifting into 5th right at/before the start/finish. Now I upshift a good bit before that. And for reference my E46 would hit 145. I'm wanna say the extra ~30whp I got from my bolt-ons are definitely putting in work!! Last edited by kaiv; 11-19-2012 at 05:47 PM.. |

NICE time didn't get a chance to meet you but nice to see someone else going out there and showing what our cars can do with very little to no modds from factory. Your speeds sound about right i usually get on the oval a touch under 100 hit 140 by the start finish and 160 climbing the "hill" to enter t1 holding 145 through t1 and t2.
I'll be going to button with speed district on the 1st and big willow on the 8th with speed ventures hope to see you guys there. |
