Well, I've mentioned about hitting Streets of Willow after watching the video of Eurocode's car, link here http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/456900-Eurocode-s-APR-tuned-B8-S4-SOW. I wanted to see what kind of lap time I can post with a stock S4 (well, 98% stock, [:D]). I was shooting for 1:27s, but unfortunately I didn't reach my goal today. Best I could manage was 1:28.747. Still not bad for a 98% stock S4. Only mods are 255/35/19 Yokohama AD08 and Carbotech XP12/10 racing brake pads. Anyway, here is the video.

Oh...BTW, once again I prove that the B8 S4 is still quicker than the E9x 335i. The best time for my E92 335i (back in March this year) was 1:30.738.
Update (12/2/2011):
Since I have videos of my fast laps in both my cars, I thought I put them side-by-side for a comparison. Hope you enjoy the video.

Nice driving, add some mods and beat your 1:27s
That is some aggressive driving. Nice time though!

Is that Racekeeper, traqmate, or another telemetry system ?

+1...particularly the hard brake zone at the end of the long straight towards the end and not loosing it must of been a bit of a rush.
Very entertaining, keep it up and the 1:27 mark will be history.

Sweet drift in the left hander at 1:10 of the lap - funny how certain corners inexplicably seem to throw the back end of a car that was pushing the rest of the track.
I'm very jealous of you people who can lap year-round...

Hopefully one day.......but then I still want to build my Prelude for NASA Honda Challenge H2. So money for the street car? Or the race car? [rolleyes]

Harry's LapTimer Pro for iPhone4. Very nice little app.

Entering the blind chicane at 103mph and through it at 90+ was even more of a rush!!! [:D]

That's the beauty of SoCal. Track all year long. As a matter of fact, this organization will have an event on this same track on New Year Eve. [:D]
I had a better, longer drift in another session through that same turn. Too bad I forgot to press the REC button after turning on the camera.

Don't forget Racerender - I hadn't tried it yet, but I will next time. Your video turned out great...
I hate how when using Harry's for both video and overlay, it cuts the first few seconds of the lap (or doesn't record some laps entirely).

Yeah, someone in the local autox brought up the RaceRender program to my attention. Pretty good program too, but the new update doesn't allow me to freeze the data at the end of the lap. Also, the new update on the Harry's LapTimer Pro seems to require calibration every time before I headed out for my session. I did the calibration before my first session (which was when I got my best lap time), and the times were more accurate when compared to the time recorded using the transponder. In the later sessions, I didn't calibrate, and I thought I improved by about 1/10th based on the app. But I was actually 2/10th slower. I'll make sure to recalibrate next time.

I added another video in the original post. It's a side-by-side comparison between my E92 335i and B8 S4.
