Thanks Brad! BTW You think your **snug** racing seat would fit in the IS-F with no modifications to the mounting?

hmmm its really all in your 60ft. Just a 1.7 would have put you in the high 11s. I think that should be what to work on. Maybe removing all seats except the driver seat could do it. Also I didnt see if you were running drag radials or not either but of course that would help. I havent launched my ISF much so I dont know if it bogs or spins but its all in the 60ft for you it seems.

Dont know if a properly tuned intake will help either. If we could tune the ECU I think you would be there no prob.

I wish it were as easy as just going out and working on my launch. Unfortunatly the 60' times I'm getting are as good as I can get. Without going to a lighter wheel setup or getting more power I'm stuck in the low 1.9's. It would be fun to have a launch control feature though. :P

Negative on that. You'll need a custom bracket to mount an aftermarket seat. If that's the direction you want to go, they're relatively inexpensive (the bracket, not the seat ).

EDIT: Re-read your question. The IS350 bracket should work in the ISF - I don't think that's something that Lexus would have changed between the two frames. I'll take a look at your car next time I see you.

But the ISF gives me a better power to weight ratio. Maybe I should pitch this idea to Ferrari. I wonder whothe lightest F1 driver is.

I don't know but I'm willing to bet they drive 100 lbs faster than you do.

Yeah I think I was slowly reeling them in. Those cars are designed for launching and geared for maximum acceleration from a stand still only and for the most part all trailered in.
