I agree. I was hoping with Joe Achilles runway testing against the G80 (
https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1881841 ) where he showed the 11.57s Qtr that I'd be able to run sub-11.6s.
On closer review of his video, though, his trap speed for that run looks to have been 117.8mph as well, with 1/3 tank fuel (? Octane). Looked at Turweston Aerodrome's runway 09/27 on GoogleEarth (where he apparently does the testing) to get a rough idea of elevation, esp since it appears to have a negative slope and they always obtain their measurements using 09 (Eastbound).
At the '09' start, GE estimates elev as 438ft, at the Qtr mile mark it's 432ft (equating to -0.45% slope), then levels off and remains ~432ft to the half mile, the dips down further to 427ft over the final 640ft to the '27' numbers. For comparison, GE shows GNV Raceway 168ft start to way past the Qtr (actual alt is reported 167ft so fairly accurate it seems).
So yeah, the LCI may end up being about the same as our pre-LCIs.
