Where are the instrumented tests?

So maybe I'm missing something, but we now have M3's in many dealerships - a few M3s delivered that we know about in the U.S. - and...

No instrumented testing of acceleration, braking, etc.

Where are they or when are they coming?

you mean specifically US tests? Because Germans have already tested(AMS and Sport Auto).

Yes, sorry, we've seen a few instrumented tests from outside the U.S.

I did mean U.S. or at least to me the standard quarter mile, slalom, skid pad, braking, etc.

Boss, I meant U.S. publication tests. I'm specifically interested in stopping, quarter mile, and maybe skidpad.

1/4 mile was in my previous post. Braking also measured by the European tests as well as slalom (not sure those numbers have been published yet, I'm still waiting for my copies of Sport Auto and Auto Bild Sportscars and will scan and publish as soon as receive them).
