And that's fine. Just excuse me when I say that I don't believe it without seeing some sort of evidence. You're times in general are cold weather times, but I just didn't want to bring it up, but glad you did. What were temps like in morning when you ran? 47F? Anyways you seemed to have videos of the event, and you were able to post an edited lap out of a session, so why again, did do you not have footage of this 2:39? or any thing faster than the 2:41 that you posted? If your buddy hand timed you or something, then just state that. Other than that, I'm not sure how you expect us to believe what you are saying.

But here's the lap. Its a 2:39...I even watched it in slow motion. Its the 20th lap of the weekend. 4th session of the instructor group, 3 laps from the end. Harry's had a video malfunction on this session for some reason. Specs on the car: 2011 E90 with 3 options - individual color, DCT, ipod. Square OEM 18x9.5s 275 conti scrubs square (fronts were falling off at this point) 75mm stud conversion Stoptech BBK 6pot front/4pot rear with SR34 pads front and rear GC camber plates (-2.5 camber) Dinan springs Dinan front sway bar Non-EDC shocks Dinan Pulley BMW Performance steering wheel, grills and side markers IND painted reflectors 1/2 tank of gas I weigh 175lbs Rear seat and air compressor was taken out Schroth mini quick fit harness I was in M Mode, DSC Off, Power off, S4 shift mode. IMO, most make the mistake of going Power, EDC sport, and S5. It just makes the car ride harder and twitchier.

Yeah, I did run a 57. I was surprised as none of my laps felt that good to me where as other ones later in the day felt awesome, but weren't as fast.
I think I remember your car. Had an ESS or EAS plate in the rear? Haven't had a chance to run through the video, but I'll let ya know. Had some good battles with I believe one of the instructors (Jordan?) in Josh's car and some other people. |

Car is light because I removed the rear seats, rear center console and trunk lining. Super easy to do and can go back in any time. I'm on stock rotors and these pf08s seem to last really well. I've had no brake issues at all. I do try to brake as little as possible (brakes only slow you down anyway ). I have 2 wet/damp glen days on stock suspension and stock contis and 1 long dry day at Monticello on them as well as these 2 dry glen days from this weekend and there's still decent meat left on them. I think a combination of those brake ducts and a mentality that I will brake as little as possible are why they seem to work so well. The 275s all around felt very balanced. Car didn't understeer or oversteer at all (which also means I left margin on the table). The E92 is new to me, so like a blind man at an orgy, I'm just trying to feel my way through the situation . I expect to be faster next time, even with the same setup. Bertha is definitely a big girl, but she sure can dance when you tickle her right Last edited by Stee; 10-05-2013 at 11:28 AM.. |

Saw your car there, running in the the thunder race group.
Looking good. I was running in the HPDE 3/4 group that weekend just trying not to hurt myself. One session I noticed my air conditioning was on and I had to put down the smoothie I was drinking to turn it off. Hurts mpg you know. Did you just move up to GTS4?
