[quote=GTsRasta;1005111]Cool stuff. I think it's about time to get a baseline. I happened to have requested off this day, so I'll see about coming through with my supercharged GTS buddy and see what numbers we pull.

We'll have to do a side-by-side run with him then

I am making the winery run immediately following this if possible.


Rob, I'll PM you details about this.

Sounds like a plan. He just stopped over my house today, and his car is looking sicker than ever. On top of his factory TRD kit, TRD springs & shocks, and rims, he just got a Invader style carbon fiber hood for cheap to lighten up his car even more. Until he runs water injection, he should still be in the mid 13 second car range. He also recently passed inspections back at Westbury Toyota AGAIN for the second time on his 8.5 psi pulley, and emission friendly MAP...where they once again said "the car runs like new, but there's still a weird noise coming from the engine bay" .

Also, besides dyno tuning, he also needs to get his new wideband installed, so he'll be needing that to get done as well, btw.

And on a side note...this will be the last Summer he will have his supercharged GTS. After going back and forth between the 335i coupe and new M3 coupe, he has finally decided to stay with his M3 order. This means I can finally start counting down the days to when I strip his car for all his parts by Fall .

Ok for those guys is the CT Westchester area who are planning on attending..How about we create a little convoy and go together. We can meet somewhere in Westchester ie. Bloomingdales Parking lot in White Plains or HRM in Portchester.

Mike since you arranged this shin dig, maybe you could lead the way and suggest a meeting time.

Well the time depends on how long it will take us to get there. Mike why don't you pick a time?

Lets plan out the details.

Well that looks to be about an hour and a half from HRM. However who knows about traffic.

Would a ferry be a better choice than driving the whole way?

If not then it looks to me like we should plan on leaving HRM at 9:30 am. So it would probably be best to plan on meeting at HRM between 9 and 9:15 am.

So who else is planning on joining the convoy?

Hey guys, sorry for responding late.


I didn't know it was that far out east. 9:45 is a good time to leave if we wanna get there at 11. The traffic will not be bad at all at that time, so we will probably get there in about an hour from HRM.


So here's the details:


MEET AT HRM at 9:15-9:30

LEAVE BY 9:45 SHARP!






Guys coming from NJ, you should probably meet up with us because you'll have to pass through anyways unless you go the GWB route

BTW the distance from Greenwich is 75 miles....

....should be an interesting drive!

Scotty, do you want to look into the bridgeport ferry (schedule, cost, etc..)?

Weather report is calling for a mix of showers & sun on Saturday.

Rob, unless you want to take the GWB, meet me at HRM.


I'm not sure who else will come, but who cares?

Good News!

Have they identified what's causing the oil issue?

If you decide to go through SI, I suggest taking the BQE to the LIE (this will probably be faster than the Belt Pkwy to the Cross Island then LIE, especially on a Saturday morning).

We could pick a spot off the LIE to meet.
