By sport package adding 20 pounds, I meant the other options that come with it (power lumbar seats, power folding mirrors, larger suspension pieces, etc)
And by 60 lbs in wheels/tires weight, I meant compared to the 56 pounds the sport package wheels/tires weigh.
Again, not taking anything away from you Terry, you did great today.
Just stating full disclosure facts that you had the lightest car (and least rotational mass) as well as probably one of the highest HP outputs with your mods (SoCal335i was probably making equal power) and the only one with DR's.
I was just hoping more 335i's with more mods would of showed up.
It was basically you and SoCal335i with really any mods whatsoever other than the "chips". I wanted to see more aftermarket exhausts as well as some manuals running for comparison.
We'll all hit Famoso in the fall. Still not a great track, but better than LACR.
I don't care about a 100 Octane map personally. I don't ever see myself running pure 100 Octane in there.
I like to run it in the same "everyday" mode I drive it in.
That's why, all my times are also set with my tire pressures at 35-37 psi on street tires.
I don't run DR's or even run low psi for additional traction.
I'm more curious to see what the effects of the LSD will do for times.
Hopefully we'll be able to compare LSD car's times to those with no LSD.
Now the wait for another 4-5 months before it starts to cool down again! |
Actually I was a little disappointed, with that 2.0 60' on the second run I could have ran around 13.06, I just pushed it too hard and spun a little up top. I'll get it next time.
I don't think the exhausts don't do a lot aside from make more noise. Guys are only picking up 10rwhp with the full exhaust systems + procede. Taking out the res and 2nd cats but leaving the stock mufflers/piping probably didn't do much (5rwhp?).
The Nittos are awesome on the street, very well balanced with the soft sidewalls of the generals up front. I'll take the peg leg with Nittos over any other regular tire + LSD any day.
