What are most people getting 0-60 and 1/4 mile?

You know what's amazing is that the new 911turbo does 0-60 in like 2.9 seconds!!! The time it takes me to do 45 a 911 is doing 60!!! That's like getting killed in the first couple seconds of a race! If you really wanna race people from a dig, why don't you just get a 911 turbo and call it a day?

If you want to surprise people, you should mod a buick or town car or something.

Well, I'm not sure you will ever really surprise anyone who knows anything about cars in an IS-F or a 335i...the F being a V8 with quad exhaust tips, hood bulges, big hips and fat tires...the 335i carrying dual exhaust and a reputation for being easily modded to much-faster-than-stock speeds.

I don't know how many people have asked me what the "F" stands for, or if I've added it to the car...which usually comes after they see the exhaust and curiously try to identify it.

911 TT has launch control and DCT. There is nothing to do but mash the gas and pop the gears. No left foot. Just right foot. Also, being AWD, there isn't much wheelspin if any.

To the OP, I don't understand how you can be walking ISFs if you ran a 12.9 (modded) and are hoping to be into 11s but realistically are expecting low 12s with future mods. So basically right now the future mods are non existent, and ISFs are into 12s in stock form. Also the 335's advantage is from the dig, so if you're talking about rolling pulls then the ISF will be stronger and pull on you. CJ (MRxSLAYx) has videos where he's pulling strong on a JB3 335, and it was before having N02, so only mods at the time were 2nd cat and muffler delete plus intake pipe (JoeZ).
Most of the time the ISF is a sleeper (80% of the people are car ignorants, and even those that think they know everything about cars, fail to know about the ISF). When I go to the track most of the people are not interested in racing me because (and they say it) my car is an IS250 with a body kit. Once I make a pass and beat fast cars, they start asking about my car and what mods I have. They can't believe there is a V8 under the hood.

My 12.9 (first run ever) was three months ago. I only had a tune (which has also been upgraded since then) and a dual cone intake. I haven't run my car since then but most 335i owners with modifications like mine are running in the high 11s or low 12s - depending on their methanol/water mixture...

To me, the nicest thing about the 335i is the fact that for a few hundred dollars and 30 minutes under the hood, you can keep up with the domestic 400 horsepower cars (SRT8s, Camaro SSs and 5.0 Mustangs) without making the car any louder and getting even better gas mileage while you're just driving around normally. With the most popular tunes (JB3 and Procede), you get 2 miles per gallon extra during normal driving and 2 miles per gallon less while racing. It's pretty cool.. The car drives like stock with more pep. That's it.
It's great to hear that the IS-F is holding up well with nitrous. The interior inside the IS is so much nicer than the 3-Series - which is where I spend most of my time - inside the car. I'm really curious about what's next for the IS-F..

You absolutely will do better with the headers and cooler weather. Last night with a Density Altitude of -10ft or practically sea level I did a 12.1@116. When it gets colder later in the season I am certain the IS-F will be a 11 second car Naturally aspirated with just exhaust.
