Well couple of us got together and did some G meter runs today. We did 1/4 mile runs.
No racing just G meter. The owner of the road that we used I guess didnt want us to do any runs with each other and we figured that was best so we just did single runs with G-Meter... It was good. An eye openner for all of us.
Participants were,
jiio(545 SMG), EBMCS03(IS350 Auto), hollywoodtrash(550 SMG), iceman316(550 SMG), bmw4life(G35 Auto), Tblax545i(545 Step)
Here are some pics.
I guess I'll try to list everyone approximate time to the best I can remember feel free to chime in anyone that remebers their best time. I'm not sure if I should post icemans time. It was too quick.
The weather was sunny and temp was about 80 according to my car.
Here are the times.
jiio 545i SMG
0 to 60 mph 5.6x secs
hollywoodtrash 550i SMG
0 to 60 mph 5.3x secs
Tblax545i 545i Step
0 to 60 mph 5.8x? secs (I'm sorry I forgot the best time. I know the worse... 6 secs...
)
bmw4life G35 Sedan Auto
0 to 60 mph 5.6x secs
iceman316 550i SMG
0 to 60 mph X.9x secs
EBMCS03 IS 350 Auto
1/4 13.63 secs @ 100.6 mph
1000 ft. 11.38 secs
1/8 8.75 secs @ 81.3 mph
330 ft. 5.73 secs
60 ft. 2.03 secs
0 to 100 mph @ 13.25 secs
0 to 90 mph @ 10.53 secs
0 to 80 mph @ 8.25 secs
0 to 70 mph @ 6.55 secs
0 to 60 mph @ 5.00 secs
0 to 50 mph @ 3.83 secs
0 to 40 mph @ 2.73 secs
0 to 30 mph @ 1.85 secs
0 to 20 mph @ 1.05 secs
0 to 10 mph @ 0.25 secs
So there you have it. What do you think Znod?

New Rims for the IS 350?
What do you guys think of these rims? A really good deal right now if I do a Trade in with the exisitng rims. $800 - $400 trade in = $400.
Should I should I not? Do they look too busy? Theres no deep dish look at all... 18X8 front and 18X8.5 Rear
Existing Wheels.
