If it's any indication, the fastest of the 335s was the JB4 running map 2 with a 12.9 @ 105. None of the other 335s could crack into the 12s. The best I managed with my Dinan was a 13.2 - same as the Proceed & JB3. The Viper ran a 12.4 and the GTR ran a high 11.

I took some cool video with my new GoPro. Here's one of me against the JB4 (720p):

Wow, Dinan car even got the jump on theJB4 car...

Forcefed3 · 02-25-2011, 02:09 PM

What mods did the JB4 car have?

Mikey_Bo0sts · 02-25-2011, 02:09 PM

stage 1 dinan LOL

Clap135 · 02-25-2011, 02:11 PM

What track was this at. The jb4 car only trapped 105? That is very low unless they are at a shitty track. What did the other cars trap in reference?

Last time out I went 13.2 as well, however it was at about 118mph lol

Are you switching to COBB? Just wondering since you are close to them.

Haven't decided yet...plus there's no support for 2007 yet so I've got a while to make up my mind. Right now my procede is running pretty strong but it is very tempting since they are local

Do you know what track they went to? Or what the other cars trapped? I am still trying to igure out why a map2 car trapped only 105mph. I can see why Dinan trapped lower, cause the tune is slow as shit. But knowing the traps of the other n54s out there would help rule a couple things out.

The jb4 had the highest trap..which was like 105.96? or something along those lines.

Track was: Location: Dallas Raceway, 8055 W Highway 175, Crandall, TX 75114

e92bmw · 02-25-2011, 02:39 PM

I thought stock 335i's could trap 105... Is there a mistake there?

forza1976 · 02-25-2011, 02:39 PM

that's a cool angle for the camera... Gonna have to try my gopro from there.

Well if they all ran slow, it must be a slow trapping track.

bigdog34uz · 02-25-2011, 02:55 PM

I trapped at 108.19 on map 1 with a JB4. But I think that 108 is slow. But I think I may have figured out whats wrong with my car. I have a jammed Vanos

Im still trying to get a reference, any word on what the stock m3 ran?

michael1284 · 02-25-2011, 03:01 PM

13.XX not sure...from what everyone said "traction was horrible", couldn't launch right...

Clap135 · 02-25-2011, 03:03 PM

Let me repharse that, what did the m3 trap. I don't personally care about ET's

SV Concepts III · 02-25-2011, 03:03 PM

Not sure..I asked some of the others that were there and they don't remember. You may have to PM him since I doubt he keeps up w/ these forums.

Clap135 · 02-25-2011, 03:08 PM

Eh don't really care enough to do that. I was just curious why they were all trapping so slow.
