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:

TBlax545i had the Step and his times were not as good the SMGs. It's b/c he didn't brake torque. I'm sure he would have done better if he did.

Suffice it to say, everyone enjoyed the G-Meter runs today. We're planning for another round in 3 weeks. The next time will be during the night when it's a lot cooler. :thumbsup:

Hello??? You're borrowing my G-Meter. Now go on and "launch" some more. I'm definitely going to be experimenting with my launchs like grogan545 mentioned. I was disappointed in my best time today. Stupid me on my first run I forgot to turn off my A/C, radio, and AIBs. My first time was like 6.4x :blink:

looks like someone had a good party last night? :teehee: :teehee:

Did all you SMG guys use Acceleration Assist (Launch Assist)?
