Default I finally hit the drag track, LMK what you think

Well, with my super-fast IS250 (haha) I went to the strip with some guys from a local car club. It was my first time, and now I am hooked. Here are some times:

**I only did 4 runs, here are my top best for each category**

Weather: 68 degrees, probably 60%-70% humidity

R/T- .167, .171

60'- 2.405, 2.425

330- 6.916

1/8- 10.606

1/8 MPH- 65.79

1000- 13.767

1/4- 16.427

1/4 MPH- 85.58

I found some things out also. 1. The car ran better with the A/C and headlights on as opposed to turned off. 2. Letting the car shift by itself hindered performance, even with in POWER ECT mode. 3. My car is really slow. haha.

If anyone else with an IS250 has hit the track, let me know what your times were like.

Wow. You sure about all of this? Doesn't make much sense to me. Anyone else experience this?

I have to dig up my time slip but I know that my 250 is definetely faster than that. I only ran mine 1 time and my 60' was 2.094 and my 1/4 was 15.4(don't remember what the speed was) It was about 80 degrees and probably 15% humidity at 1243' above sea level. I ran with 1/4 tank of gas all accessories off in sport mode and let the car shift itself. Then again your car is AWD and I see you have 19's so your times are probably about right.

the track elevation is 1200'. I had a half tank of gas.

And yes, I am sure about me shifting and it getting a faster time.
Also, I did 85.5 MPH in the 1/4 when I shifted. And I did 83 when it shifted for me.

In the next few weeks or so, I am going to run my car with the stock wheels and air intake, I will let you all know how I did.
