I could not imagine how difficult the aftermarket 4.1:1 final drive must be to launch and shift at less than dry surfaces.

An M-DCT will be a much more of a fair comparison given its 3.4:1 final drive (much closer to the tall 2.9:1 final drive in IS-F) and 7 speed press-and-go auto shifting is a better match.

I agree in those slick conditions, m-dct (press and go) would be a better match up. When I launch on the street, I just get a little chirp from launch and 1st to 2nd shift but at the track it feels like I will fish out if I don't let off the gas.

lol with an E93? wouldnt waste my time... try filling your trunk with sandbags next time you go out and you'll feel my pain

I guess you're trying to tell me that the track conditions were pretty s--t, which I can see from another posting of 13.3 at the same track... so I guess you shaved 0.4 with a tune which is pretty good!

Ya, should have. I was waiting for gearhead. But not waiting for him anymore.

I will just wait for him at the end of the drag strip.

Ado · 07-14-2009, 05:51 PM

Heh you've got a lot of confidence for 13.2 was the other guy an auto too?

FBTO · 07-14-2009, 06:41 PM

No. Manual

Ado · 07-14-2009, 07:28 PM

What wad your 60 foot time on the best run?

FBTO · 07-14-2009, 07:52 PM

2.077

Ado · 07-14-2009, 08:07 PM

Was your 60 foot pretty consistant across all the runs?

FBTO · 07-14-2009, 08:19 PM

Most more low 2s. Between 2 & 2.5

is that good?

My best reaction time was .071

Ado · 07-14-2009, 08:28 PM

It's not bad my best was 1.982 and am normally around 2.0+ as well. Does your car have some kind of launch control? Do you powerbreake when you launch? Any burning rubber?

FBTO · 07-14-2009, 08:39 PM

No launch control. No power brake launch, just foot off brake and then on the gas. No burnouts.

Ado · 07-14-2009, 10:19 PM

You may be able to get a bit of a better time with power breaking but you would be screwing your tranny a bit.

Also reaction time doesn't count on regular test and tune, its only counted in competition races.

FBTO · 07-15-2009, 09:40 AM

Is anyone actually going? I don't have any confirmations from you guys. Understandable....
