Nice race!
I've always liked the IS F...what's your opinion of it after racing it? Do you think the IS F would have pulled even with you without the passenger in the car?

I doubt we would of been even with if he had no passenger but it was a good race and i was impressed that i couldnt pull more on him. We are planning another race soon after i completely break in my ECU and i get my secondary cats deleted. BTW that Z06 was pulling like a train!

LMAO
I just read your remark from youtube...
If owning IS350 is being rich i guess AMG or ISF owners would be considered millionares?

This is some funny stuff....lol

had the race continued do you think the IS F would have past you? Aren't they limited to 170+ whereas the Benz is limited to 155mph?

And why would you have to "break-in" the ecu?

Nice runs... A little surprised though. The ECU needs to adapt for a few miles, this is the "learning" stage. You get full power after the adaption or a few WOT pulls, its all true.

ECU would need to adapt to the transmission, form its shift points. I'm assuming that's what he means.

I did happen to notice that you and the EVO were racing in traffic, as he had to cut over what looked like 2 lanes and then dodge back. Not very smart.

Looks like the IS-F had a split second head start on top of the car length it was already in front. What speed did you guys start the race because it looked like you guys started fairly high to reach 120 mph so quickly. Awesome race though. Was the Z06 just a stranger that joined in or was it part of your crew?
We need a godamn M5board style landing strip to test 50-280 kph because starting from 45-50 mph (70-80 kph) is just too fast.
Soldier - did you take your foot off the gas pedal or even slighty let your foot off before you braked when the Z06 got in front of you? I'm asking this because it looked like you were starting to walk on the IS-F faster and faster but then decelerated once the Z06 came in front.

There were a couple of guys who had tried working something out with MHP, but that whole fiasco blew up just like here. There is very little available for the F as far as aftermarket upgrades. There has yet to be anyone that has been able to crack the ECU on the F.
Oh ya...btw, great race soldier....looks like it was tons of fun

What im tryin to wonder is, how can you get that HP at the wheels with just an intake and a cat delete?
