I think lowering your stock radials to 22psi hurt your performance (low mph and bad 60ft) We usually found radials worked the best at no lower than 28psi with no burn out (skipping the water box) and just doing a few dry hops to clean the tires. You should only lower to 22psi if the tire is designed for it such as a drag radial or slick. Would be interesting run again at a higher psi to see if you do improve.
@ Even with a small burnout radials usually will only get greasy/oily and not soft as they aren’t designed for it. I would try the other method if you go back to see if you do run better. You can play with the pressures and burnout/no burnout between each run to see what works best. That’s why test-n-tune can be so fun…
Yes, lowering tire pressures to gain better traction would generally result in a lower trap speed in a quarter mile race, as the increased tire deformation from lower pressure creates more rolling resistance, hindering the car's ability to reach its maximum speed at the finish line. But quarter mile times usually are better. Great video….thanks.
@@jimdrivas4949 This is true with slicks or drag radials which the sidewalls are designed for the lower pressure. At least for us lowering a street radials to 22psi would always result in both a higher ET and lower trap. The sweet spot always seemed to be around 28-30 psi for radials.
I thought that might have been your M2. For some reason I thought your car was red but in the track lighting it looked closer to orange. The reason your trap speed is worse on the track is because of how it's measured. Trap speed is calculated as the average speed using two measurements in the last 66 feet of the 1/4 mile. With a dragy, I presume it's giving you the actual speed you are traveling at the 1/4 mile mark.
Nice runs, throw a tune on the m2 and switch it on and off and compare runs
Maybe in the future if it gets tuned.. I like testing with dragy better
Damn bro, you should try to feature all these cars in the channel. Some good cars out there with you.
Absolutely! The gray RS3, green rs3, M3, and white Mustang were already featured on the channel
Fun times! Makes me wish EVs were tuneable lol. Are you going to mod the M2?
maybe. i'll see.

Good point. However, traction seemed to be pretty good with a small burnout.

No slow manual transmission cars out?
Nope 😂

Interesting, didn't know that!
Wow
What’s up with the times
Track prep must be bad
what prep? haha
Didnt do as good of a time as it did on the street but close enough.
cool vid, must be a horrible track. Did you hear what the M3 posted?
He was having very bad traction issues even with AWD. I think he got a 10.8
I never tried it myself but most tuned x drive M3's launch in 2nd for better traction.
