Ran the QM this weekend

I ran a 14.0 @ 98 MPH. I ran with the setting on normal and no brake torquing. I thought I would be a little lower than that. It was 83 degrees. Hmmm. Maybe the 2010 IS 350 is a hair wearker

I consider myself a pretty experienced driver. I was able to get a 1.69 60 ft. in a stock STi. Obviously this is a different machine. My 60 ft. was 2.2... Not too sure if that is good or bad. Maybe I'll try again next week with no spare tire, almost no gas (I had a half tank this past time) and maybe I'll get into the 13s. It's supposed to be cooler too. I'll repost when I go.

Did you disable the traction and stability control? Were you spinning the wheels? A good 60 would be somewhere around 2.0.

I did disable both traction controls. I tried brake torquing once, but I spun a lot. I guess I will have to play with it a little (I know, thats what she said)....
