Default IS F dusting BMW 428, Camaro SS, and Mustang in Solo2

Stock IS F, on stock Michelin Pilot Sport tires (AD08R's on the way for the next event). Second place was 2.3 seconds behind...

Nice job.. but those car's shouldnt even in the same class as you so not really much of a competition. Nice smooth driving though.

Thanks! On a road course, it'd be like shooting fish in a barrel. Autocross, though, is all about traction (tires), weight, and to a much lesser extent, power. The chassis and balance don't matter quite as much, so Mustangs, Camaros and the like really hold their own at these speeds. The M3 is in the same class, though none showed up today...

you did a great job . congrats. Very cool. Considering the SS weighs as much and its an autocross event I would say thats pretty damn impressive.

I agree that the stock set up is amazing on the track , especially if can warm them up just a little. I am still considering going witht he oem sizes when I replace my tires . I have another track day with my ISF at the end of the month. We will see. Track temps will be higher. I bet she sticks even better....until they get too hot

Thanks, Laopadak! I'm doing a driving school this weekend (and should have new tires and your old wheels on the car) - I plan on doing some track days, but sticking to Solo2 until next year, then some time trial, maybe?

BTW, I got my JoeZ exhaust, should have it on soon. Thanks again for letting me check yours out.
