7.28 / 0 - 60 test [IS250]
My friend with a 335i is currently borrowed a 0 - 60 tester and i said why not test mine out.
Tonight i tested and I got 7.28 0 - 60 and i got 203 horsepower.
Conditions:
-straight road [slight down hill,barely]
-AC on
-3 people in car [including me]
-fog and bright lights on
-moonroof tilted
-brake held down until 2 rpms, and than launched
These are the conditions i got this time with. If anyone has any tricks to make my time faster let me know. thanks a lot. I know obviously just having one person in the car would help, but does it help to have the AC off? Also list any times that you guys have gotten?

If your really serious...Pull out the spare tire and whatever else isnt nailed down. 1/4 tank gas OR less, windows up, a/c off, lower tire pressure to 25psi, retard the timing 15 degress (if it can be done, do we even have a distributer? or am i still in chevy/ford v-8 mode?), leave the car in auto and pwr ect mode. Hell even turn off the radio/pull out your sub box/amps *thats all just dead weight*, blue tape your grill area and newhere else air gets in *like the nascar guys*, turn your side mirrors inwards, unbolt your muffers, unbolt and take out your passenger seat/rearseat... want me to go on? You wanted serious im giving you serious...
OH YEA most importantly, put on some 15" rims n tires G60 or N50

Which performance meter did you use? G-tech Pro/SS or G-tech Pro/RR? One of the older models? Important to know as the older units can be inaccurate if you don't take the time to make sure they are perfectly level.

Neither of those. Its a newer model though and we tested it on 3 different cars. mine [IS 250], 335i bmw, v-4 honda accord... and it got the exact horsepower of each of our cars and the times seemed really reasonable
