E90 or E46 you would have still been slower. E46 was faster at that point in time.

Oh, I have no doubt--I was slower. Remember, I had never been at speed in that car prior to that weekend! I only mentioned the cars for context, as you were just rolling out the E90's then. Remember all the difficulties I had with the non-power assist non-ABS brakes?

Thanks for the response, Bruce.

All of you guys who are complaining about the rules, especially the oft-mentioned camber plate rule, need to send in your proposals ASAP!

Hahaha! Nah, Larry....when someone is right, they're right. I (not the car) was definitely slower than Seth that day. And I am secure enough in my abilities to admit it!

Actually, on that day, it was close to true. I knew I'd be slower, having never driven the car at speed, but I figured it would be closer to a second, maybe a second and a half. Oh well.

You bet, spartacus. Actually, you can see how ****edup the LR wheel is in that picture. The RF wheel was worse.
