Anybody see this yet? My buddy who is a BMW fan sent me this and now everybody on the M235 board are ripping on the IS-F. I think this would totally be a different outcome if it wasn't in such thin air, but I do give the M235 some credit. Does look to be a quick car.

Altitude, nothing more.

 

I don't know why they even drag race if altitude is a factor. It does make me miss my Supra TT though...lol

 

Those guys in the video are annoying. I've watched a few of their videos and its nothing to compare with. Altitude really does make a difference and turbo cars don't take as much of a hit in higher altitudes compared to NA engines.

I just read page 2... This car isn't for everyone. I bet most of the guys on that forum have never been in an ISF, let alone driven one. Bad brakes? Bad transmission? What a joke lol

 

^^^exactly! hahaha. I will have no problem lining up with one!

 

Yeah I think its funny how they were bashing on IS-F's...I figured you guys would get a laugh out of it. I know I did.

 

I've never seen anything close to the ignorant/dismissive/abusive bashing by bimmer fanboys. It's almost a hate crime

 

IS F was in auto mode the whole way?

BMW fanbois ALL OVER that thread. Thank God I don't own one. If I did, all my friends would automatically assume I'm a conceited douche

 

Drag race at high altitude.

 

Skip to 2:13 for the actual "race." Pretty sure both us and the M235 crowd can at least agree the guys that make these videos are giant douches.

 

Very surprised.

 

wasn't expecting that, but the ISF is heavy.

 

well this sure was eye opening...bmw sports performance is amazing

 

Those 2 guys are idiots, very annoying.

High altitude hurt the ISF, but 235i is very impressive. BMW greatly underrated the hp/tq figures on its cars.
M2 will be incredible.

Cant wait to see M4 vs RCF....although i think result may be similar.
