Great to see others testing their cars.Pretty impressive times for the IS350.I reviewed some of my test data and noted that when I had times similar to the 350 in the 1/8(8.75,81.5) my 1/4 times were in the 13.40s at over 104 mph.It appears the IS350 falls off some at the upper end.When I tested at temps below 65F I had many runs 0-60 in under 5.00 secs,and 1/4 times in the 13.30s and 13.40s.If this was the first time testing with the G timer you guys did good.With some experimenting with different starting methods I think you all would see improvement.I found for my 545 step the best method is DTC/DTS off,brake torque to about 1000 rpm,release brake and slowly go to full throttle.This method gives me the best 60' times and no wheelspin.
I really have to work on this wheelspin stuff :think: |
I suspect this shows mainly that the SMG isn't as quick as the step in terms of straight line acceleration. Znod etc have hit sub 5 in a 545 and I suspect a step 550 would be a shade quicker still. But that's a phenomenal time in the IS350, EBMCS03 :thumbsup:

I want to run in cooler temperature. We knew the heat would have affected the times but since everyone was running under the same heat we got a good comparison on what each car can do. I'm sure I can shave off a little time if I practice lauching. :P Impressive none the less 5.00 flat in 80 degrees even if the G-timer is off its still impressive! :wow: Hollywood! Lets do a run!! :D |
How about Iceman316's 0-60? x.9x s ? 4.9x or 5.9x ? :think:
