Yea, I also think with my suspension tweaks and changes it's even more sensitive. Hell, the traction light was even coming on in 5th gear as I tracked out into the front straight! lol. I am pretty close to turning it at least half off as I'm getting to be more comfortable with the car. I have Palmer and Lime Rock coming up and I have driven both those tracks already so probably time for me to graduate.

 

Yea not as much elevation change but the flow reminded me of thill.

I'm not using RT660. I'm using Continental Extreme Contact Force, their new 200TW tires. I really liked them at first but now that I am pushing the car more they don't have as much grip as I would like. They are wearing really well though. I might swap them out for some Nankang CR-S tires. However, since I can't fit a set of track wheels/tires in the car, I need to get tires that work okay in the rain since it likes to rain randomly here a lot. Last thing I want to be is stuck in a rain storm on the way back from the track on tires that hydroplane all over the place. It actually started pouring RIGHT after my last session this weekend and had to drive in a lot of standing water on the way back from the track. The Contis handled it with no issue.

 

You must have a heavy right foot lol. I usually get 24 mpg on my 50/50 hwy/city commute in my evo 9

 

For those who have driven both, how similar is the 135i to the Supra in terms of steering feel and handling?

Just trying to understand how much BMW has changed since late 2000s because the 135's steering and chassis was not anything special. My evo X was a lot more fun to drive. The 135i is the only BMW I've owned and has stopped me from looking at their current cars and Toyota's derivative. Maybe skipping over the Supra because of this past experience is a mistake?

 

I get the same results in that type of traffic. When I'm stop light to stop light, having to get around slow traffic, etc. my MPG is horrible. And that's a tuned 2.0L. I figure between the turbo charger and AWD stuff, that's fair.

 

Nope, thats just what it was. I have a 6 mile journey to go pick up my kid after work today and I will be lucky if it only takes me 30 min.... Traffic is something else out here.

 

There are two supras that are finishing in the top 10 in each event so far at TireRack One Lap of America. A couple events they have also been in the top 5.

One of the supra guys (Danny Kao of Team Kaos) is someone that has helped me with my Supra setup. Nice guy, and obviously fast.

Do you know what Danny has done to his Supra so far?

 

Normal Supra stuff. Verus aero, MCS Remote 3 ways, SPL bits. Power wise I will have to look back through my convos with him. Btw, he is a former Evo owner as well. :P

 

A little over half way through with One Lap, and the Supras are dominating their class and two of them are in the top 10 overall across all classes.

 

Did it rain or did all the supras wreck at Hallet?

 

Rain, even the S2K dropped a ton.

 

Here where the conditions:

 

Evo weather.

 

Which is probably why Randy Pobst in the X3M did so well. :P
