When is upping boost happening? i really want to see a dct single or even an rb car run you LM...997.2 turbo s with a pdk tranny would be great to see as well

as soon as I lose to an E8x/E9x

there will be FBO GTRS and P-cars next week to test my mettle against
including the same PDK Turbo S i lost to in the rain before.. so that will be interesting, but he trapped 13x+ the same day this ESS car did 127

[dzenno@PTF]

What mods are on the pcar?

What mods are on the pcar?

which one ? the turbo S as far as I know is just a tune.. the OTHER 996/997's are the full gamut of possibilites

It's slow to adjust, LC is only activated for approx 5 seconds of revving before it calls it quits. I don't understand the "reset drive-off speed" portion of the stalk, I can't see where that would ever be useful, it reverts back to the OEM default after each LC use.

This is not true on the e9x series M3; I have seen this when demonstrated for other BMW cars, but I can hold mine for much longer than 5 seconds, however never counted exactly.

Haven't ever had it call quits after 5 seconds on me and the stalk is incredibly useful on the strip.

Same here (re: 5s) - is it really only +/- 500RPM? I am surprised on that - but usually launch with default settings, and have never done it for timing purposes.

@Mike@VAC how difficult is it to integrate a dry sump setup with an SC? I may want to go after some roadcourse records (like the ring, seriously) so maybe we can work something out.

Which ring? Nürburgring? I'd like to see that...

We'd all like to see world peace as well.. which is even more likely

I was quoted $1800 to replace rod bearings, I'll prob do it at 50k or if a oil analysis shows a reason to worry.

I drove LM's car today.... Words can't describe it. The power is so smooth/linear, it felt stock ....but with wayyyyyyy more power. It's the fastest car I've ever driven. There is no surge or drama, it just hooks and goes. I feel sorry for any e9x m3 or 135/335 that runs him. That kit plus the dct is unreal. I can't believe how well that car drives. I also can't believe that's the base kit, when he ups the boost, it's going to be sick

That's kind of the point. It really doesn't matter what an N54 or other cars do as they will never match the power delivery or feel.

But I like drama heh

I don't know if it's 500 rpm I could get it up to around 6200 from the 5500 default.

That's the only ring anyone cares about.

Ok right so you're saying you want to ship over your car to the 'Ring? And drive yourself? Or have someone else drive it there? In case of the former, you should count on taking a one-year sabbatical so that you can learn the track. And even then I wouldn't risk driving such a powerful car anywhere close to the limit...but you can of course always let a pro drive your car and see how fast he/she can drive it on a lap. Probably by far the better solution.

I know what I plan to do, thanks.

That is good.

[spool twice]

yikes, mine calls it quits after 5 seconds, I should probably get it checked out?

Are you continuing to hold the lever and not touching the brakes?

[LostMarine]

5 seconds is plenty to hold LC for anyway

[LostMarine]

Hey @LostMarine is this the guy you raced at the first DOR? Pretty nice 1/4 time!

You need more booooooooost

I wanted to see where I stood on the lowest boost possible, considering i took the W again here, its not so bad.. 8psi-8psi is going to be a massacre

[TT C6]

I just believe it's impressive when these cars hit 9's

Agreed.
10's are impressive.......in 1992.

Anyone who races, or even hangs out at the track, needs to see 9's in STREET trim to respect a car in 2014.....especially one with an aftermarket supercharger.

I dunno. It's cool to see a 'street' car run 9s, but nearly all of them save GTRs and Gallardos, aren't running a 'street' trim. They're running $#@!ing drag radials and race gas or E85. If that's what it takes for you to 'respect' a car, then you're a $#@!ing tool.
