Default IS350 @ 13.24 with bonus video killing a 335i

Getting closer boys. It was 75 degrees out today and my trap speeds were not that great. Good news is that I am pretty sure if I can get out to 1/4 track in feb when it's in the 40's again I can get this puppy down at 13.0x (didn't someone say upper 12's??) hahah.. This was will full interior and 1/4 tank of gas.

I ran a 13.32/13.27/ and the last race was vs. a 335i that seemed to be really confident that he could beat me... that was the 13.24. My car is starting to break in, and I am sure when cooler weather comes things will look good.

Also had a 8-10mph head wind.

I should go post the video on the e90 forums. YOU KNOW EVERY ONE AND THEIR MOTHER IS GOING TO GO "the bmw driver didn't know how to drive". b.s He ran a 13.6 which is just about right for that car.

there was an m3 out there who's best time was a 13.4x and this guy was a really good driver. for all you guys saying the m3 is faster than the is350..you are wrong. It's not... I have never had an m3 beat. So sick of people saying that.

here's the video.

here's a direct link to the 13.27 time slip. i am not embedding it to save space on the thread.

what kind of tires are you using? they seem sticky.. also, are you just smashing the gas or using the brake torque technique?

Thanks guys.

Yes brake torque on stock tires and wheels which are the potenza's.
1 was without brake torque.

I need to check the DA for today.

I don't use ect mode. The car will shift the same at full throttle regardless. seems like when i run with ect i get a lower trap speed. All 3 of my fastest times have been without it on.
