I have a lot of trouble believing any 350 can get near the 12s unless it was totally gutted, had drag radials, and every mod possible for performance including forged 17 inch wheels.

After picking up the new '08 ISF a week ago (3/14/08), I decided it was time to put it to the test w/ just 600 miles on the odo. Since the TX2K8 Supra Nationals were in town, I headed over to Lonestar Motorsports Park on Saturday. My goal was to atleast obtain the fastest magazine 1/4 mi timeslip so far and the mission was accomplished. After a few passes by me, I handed the ride over to my tuner 'SRT Mo' who was able to knock out three consecutive 111 mph runs.. the fastest one being a 12.89 pass.
Here's the breakdown:
Reaction - 1.49
60 FT - 2.04
1000 ET - 10.85
1/4 ET - 12.89
1/4 MPH - 111.66
With these preliminary results, it's almost certain that someone will soon knock out a 12.6-12.7 timeslip w/ proper launch and optimal conditions. As for the video, don't worry it'll be posted soon.

Basically go on a nice cool day with high pressure and you'll easily knock out a low 12 second run with a good 60'. You'll also gain at least 5 more mph in the 1/4. Oh and get some more mileage on that engine too for even quicker times.
Nice job!
PS.. and no my car is NOT gutted out for the track and I'm running the stock 18's with R compounds.

I'm guessing the IS-F will start to run faster and faster as the engine is more and more broken in. I also am thinking it'll probably lose a 1/10 or 2 as the tires wear thinner and thinner. BTW, what were the mods to the 335i?

Your Density Altitude on 3/22 was about 1200ft. The best IS350's can run in the 1/4 at this DA is about 13.4@103mph. I ran a 12.84 but the DA was -1800ft.
