Took my stage 1 tuned E55 out for a run. Been working on my launch as the extra hp requires it. I think I'm starting to tame her. Using Dragger app for my measurements. This is by far my best effort to date.
You're trying to control the uncontrollable. This car has a mind of its own.
Just kidding, good stuff!
Thanks! Lol. Seriously, right! I thought for some time it was useless to keep trying! My previous best was 4.5 secs and that was with plenty of slippage. After figuring out that launch, I realize the mods and tune are working just fine. Ha!
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric All Season. They came with the car and have plenty of tread left. When I buy a set they'll be Continental Extreme Contacts.
Thank you for that info. Reason I asked is that I have similar mods and have not got there yet. My best is 4.00 flat, so will continue to work at it. Great job getting a 3.56

No problem! 4 flat is moving pretty good as well! I haven't gotten her out since the other day but one thing I did different on that run, compared to others, was when launching from 1st, I got her rolling a bit but this car spins so easily, when she started to spin I flipped it to 2nd gear basically mid spin, and she took off like a freak. I wish I kept going cuz I would've crushed my 1/8 th mile time easily. Lol. Will try to repeat this next time I get her out because I still think I could do better than 3.56. Good luck getting to sub-4. The only other time I went 0-60 that fast was in my brother's 911 turbo. Feels good to know my 4 door saloon can bust it out too.
